Wow...just wow! This is one of those places God spent extra time with His paintbrush. I've wanted to visit since seeing a black and white image of Yosemite Valley from Ansel Adams as a kid. Seeing it in real life did not disappoint! Hopefully some updated color photos will inspire you to find places that give you the 'feels' when you see them too.
Pro Tip: If you enter from Wawona Tunnel (on Wawona Road / Highway 41), there is a fantastic view immediately as you exit the tunnel. STOP! The last photo in this album is from this vantage point and definitely worth a few minutes.
