The 1,000 odd mile drive across Colorado, Utah and Nevada |
Nevada State Capitol - Carson City, Nevada |
Kit himself ! |
Yosemite Lodge, CA ( we didn't stay here ! ) |
1st afternoon's hike - to top of Vernal Falls |
Face of El Capitan - scene of Free Solo |
Yosemite Falls - at about its most impressive with Spring snowmelt. We hiked to the top of this on day 2 |
Believe it or not, we're nearly half way to the top at this stage. These falls have a further 500 feet so so to fall before reaching the valley floor |
Where we did stay - Treetops Lodge on the southern entrance to the Park. Communal loos and showers, but v comfortable |
The Mariposa Sequoia Grove . A cool 1000 odd years of growth and in some trees here much more. |
Identity of this rhubarb looking plant still to be identified |
This was our introduction to Crater Lake NP in southern Oregon. Only managed to get to this point by bike. Road closed - reminiscent of Yellowstone on our trans am trip |
No inflow ( other than rain and snow ) and and no outflow ( other than seepage and condensation - I'm still waiting for an email from the Park rangers to tell me approximately in what proportion ! ) |
