I have been to Yosemite National Park several times before, mostly around the year’s warmer months. This time it was during early March and the weekend before my visit the park was closed due to heavy snow storms. I had doubts that the park would open in time for my day trip from the San Francisco Bay area to Yosemite, but I got lucky and it opened just in time to moon me again with its natural beauty. In this first part, and the upcoming second blog post, I am sharing some of this beauty with you.
