48 HOURS IN YOSEMITE VALLEY (what to do in the spring time)
Рет қаралды 130,506
3 жыл бұрынYosemite has been on the top of both of our USA bucket lists to revisit again, and the time has finally come! We packed in free firewood, delicious food, and a whole lot of energy, as we explored all there is to Yosemite Valley in the short span of 48 hours. This park was all in all a majestic piece of land, and a picturesque home to some of the most magnificent waterfalls and rock faces.
Follow along to see where we head next.

Yo! I hope you had an amazing time in this place and I hope you're having a great day. I saw your video and I enjoyed your video because I feel as if I were in this place.

What a great time of year to visit Yosemite! I went a couple of years ago in November and the waterfalls were wimpy in comparison. I’m very proud of you both with those hikes.
