I have always wanted to visit Yosemite and I was not disappointed. The first view is absolutely awesome with El Capitan, Half Dome and Bridal Veil Falls framing the valley. We stayed in the park at the Ahwahnee Lodge and were very pleased. We took a two hour tour and found it to be worthwhile. We drove to Glacier Point, 1 hour each way, but well worth it for the views.
