Yosemite National Park - California

We spent nights 2 and 3 camping at Camp 4 in Yosemite National Park. The panoramic photo taken from Glacier Point (bottom of page) gives an idea of how large Yosemite actually is. Only a small part of this national park is accessible by car. Unfortunately, my camera doesn't do the park justice in terms of capturing its size or beauty. 

Aside from the day hike we took, there are also multi-day backcountry hiking trails and more relaxed (read: flatter) day walks through the park. We could have easily spent a month just exploring Yosemite.
