Driving into the park, we were waiting to see some grand views. After coming out of a car tunnel, this was our first taste of Yosemite.  This is Yosemite valley, Bridalveil Falls is way off in the background.

Me in the same shot.

This is El Capitan...another great peak in the Valley.

Bridalveil Falls, close up.

The rock face behind the Ahwahnee.

The Ahwahnee Hotel.  We didn't stay here.

Another great view.

April and Mike at Yosemite Falls...the highest falls in North America.  This was basically the view from our back doorstep at the lodge we stayed at in the valley.
