Half dome, El Capitan, Yosemite Valley, and waterfalls make Yosemite as picturesque as any National Park in America. Unfortunately, its proximity to the largest cities in California make it crowded with the same people who go to Disneyland.
These tourists litter at the park, feed wild animals, and treat the natural wonders like any amusement park. I looked around fruitlessly for Mickey and Goofy, and at one point, I swear I could hear, “It’s a small world after all.” The major activity of our day was to hike the Mist Trail.
The incredible views of wonderful waterfalls, majestic mountains, and soaring skies offset the sheer number of people, concrete path, and concession that littered the trail.
After a roundtrip of 5 miles, the exhausted hikers turned into campers. Our campsite was located at the southern end of Yosemite, and it was a beautiful spot with very friendly neighbors.
