Yosemite is the name for the valley the ahwanee indians gave to their holy valley
and which lives on in the beautiful hotel in yosemite village

there are a
number of waterfalls in the valley
one more beautiful than the other but one is also more famous than the other.the first one every one sees is the bridalveil falls or pohono in ahwanee, which means a puffing wind

this is the footpath to the platform in front of the bridal veil falls. this is when there is a lot of melting water coming down but if you go just a few months later you would see a whole something different as you can see on the next page
