We were in YNP 1970. We took a shuttle (small golf cart size train) with glass roof thru the valley with a guide. Very informative.

I recall the mention of a stain on the face of El Capitan that was the shape of the USA. Look like its still there. The first one shows Baja California very well.






I was born in Great Falls, Mt. My parents moved when I was 5. I found them when I was 10 - they were in California.

It is a tame winter. We camped in Yosemite until Christmas and it was the warmest I could remember in many years of winter camping in the park. Overnight temps in the high 20's, days were high 40's, to low 50's, and no snow . . . what-so-ever. Not even on the peaks surrounding the Valley. Instead of hiking on the snow covered trails, we rode bikes.

Beautiful, but we really need the snow.
