Watch for rocks


The signs all through Yosemite say watch for rock...as if there is anything else to see.....great, hulking granite formations with waterfalls, springs, lakes. Wonderful. There is still snow in June at the 8000' level and the wildflowers are waiting for mid summer to bloom. Roads that used to scare hell out of us when we moved from Hawaii are old hat - but still narrow and fearsome, with dropoffs to the valley below the stuff of nightmares. But the rocks are sturdy, magnificent, and huge and awe inspiring. We left the park at the 9,900' level to drop to the eastern side of the Sierras to find glorious rivers, sheep ranges and green valleys full of peace.
See the waterfall in the very distance behind Robert.
