Yosemite National Park

[Scotaku]

will do, i'm planning a cross country moe to cali in the near future and glacier is priority, actually western Montana is (i'd like to buy some nice land there and slowly build myself a cabin for vaction use)

Same here, but round trip from MD. I may leave as early as Wednesday next week. :)

I'm planning to stop at Niagara Falls, down the Canadian side of Erie to Detroit, ferry across Lake Michigan to Milwaukee, hoof it to Minneapolis and Grand Forks where I have family, then take a day to see the Badlands, Mount Rushmore, and the Crazy Horse memorial. From there trek to Yellowstone for a while and then on to Boise to see my sister. Down through Reno/Tahoe, where I may meet up with my wife who wants to fly instead of drive, and into Wine Country, Sausalito, San Francisco, and Monterery. Hole up with my old friend in Cuppertino for a day then hit Yosemite. Take the east side south to Death Valley and across the desert to Las Vegas. finally see Hoover Dam, but turn back and go north to Utah into Zion, Bryce, Canyonlands, and Monument Valley for a day or three. Take a nice breather in Pueblo or Santa Fe (haven't decided yet) then trek east for Memphis to see Graceland and Beale Street (eating well along the way in Texas and Oklahoma). Dogleg up through Nashville for Bowling Green and see how Corvette's are put together then dogleg back to waste a day on the Tail of the Dragon and the Cherahola before stopping in Greer, SC for the BMW factory. From there I may tie the whole trip up with an end to end run of Skyline Drive through the Blue Ridges and then park it back home with an extra 6 or 7 K on the ticker and zillions of photos.

I might try to buy one of those GoPro Hero cameras. It can be set up to take a picture every five seconds that I could stitch together as a round trip video.

Yes, I am insane.

Let me know when you come out I live 25 mins west of the west gate and know some other cool spots to check out not in the park. This goes for anyone else heading to glacier

I love that place, been there a bunch and climbed quite bit in the park.

Somewhere around the house I have a pic of this spot ( GP ) with myself sitting on that rock with my feet dangling over the edge.

I used to spend almost every weekend there rockclimbing a while ago. I never got sick of the place! Nice pix man! I'm going to make it a point to head out soon. It's definitely a must-see. If you want to see the water falls at their biggest though, go in April/early May. Anytime after that they're pretty much dry and it does get way hot in summer.

thanks everyone, fyi - these pictures do this place no justice, you really need to see it in person to grasp it. so do yourselves a favor and check it out.

I know what you mean! Never been to Yosemite, but driven past and thru MANY beautiful areas, and my camera can in no way capture the beauty. It's just something about seeing a breathtaking sight in person that a camera cannot imitate!

Shit son, looks good!

Nice pictures
how long of a hike is it?

unfortunately i didn't hike too much of it, mostly driving and stopping. did hike some spots though. only had a day to hit yosemite. i was stationed out near san francisco for the coast guard and only had the day to check out the park, really wish i had more time.

Gorgeous... Ive lived in Fresno and Visalia for probably 14 years, and Ive never made the trip there. Kinda making me wish I had. Maybe the next time I'm in Fresno I'll make a point of it. Awesome pics...
