Elderhostel tour of Yosemite; 1 April 2007

Returning to Yosemite after more than 60 years, I was pleased to note that it was little changed from what I'd known before (with one notable exception; see photos of El Capitan). We went outside of tourist-max season and it's well we did. It was crowded even then. It must be hell-on-wheels in mid-summer!
