So much water by LutzOrth on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Two weeks before we reached Yosemite National Park on our tour through southwest of USA (2023) we met some people that came just from there. They told us a little bit about the situation there inside Yosemite Valley this early summer of 2023...I remember the most important statement of their description; So much water ! Everywhere water !

When we reached then we saw everywhere much water coming down the moutains or in the flooded meadows in the valley.

O.k. then, we thought, let's have two days here in the valley and go afterwards to the Tioga Pass to start some hikes from there...there might be only some snow.

But only one day after arriving in Yosemite Valley we could bury our plans, because Tioga Pass was still closed because of snow until late summer...

In that way we stayed one week in Yosemite Valley...and were really astonished, what one can experience in such a relatively small part of the gigantic NP....

...for exemple we used the time to got to know every waterfall most "personally"...like this one here.
