The Waterfall Bridal Veil Yosemite

Wednesday, May 21, 2008, 13 hours

Everything is clean, perfect, so it's gone. On through the beautiful forest of conifers on Route CA-41, named here Wawona Road, is more charming, no? We took the opportunity to admire the landscape, to a tunnel of the same name. And just outside the tunnel, you're not in a hurry, then garons us, there is parking. You will not regret it. Ah, of course, open your eyes wide, and clickety-clack, thank you K.. A. (Who? You think about the brand of my camera, but no, no ads here. Click-clack, thank you Kylar). Joking aside, let's look a little here is a point of view simply superb!

In this family photo from that perspective, much of what makes the beauty of this park were assembled: waterfalls, granite domes, alpine landscapes ... So I introduce it. Ladies first, Bridalveil Fall , the cascade of Bridal Veil. Nice name, is not it? Bridalveil Fall

is a waterfall that flows into the Merced River from a height of about 190 meters. It flows all year, but it is the most beautiful in late spring and early summer, when it is fed by water from melting snow and glaciers. His name, waterfall bridal veil evokes lightness and movement when the wind blows. According to Indian legend , if you see a rainbow in her veil, there may be a woman behind, but ... do not go. You never know, the lady will perhaps lead you on a voyage without return ... Uh, I, I said nothing, but you are warned.

Bridalveil Fall, the Waterfall Bridal Veil

Just above the waterfall, the first photo, is Cathedral Rocks and Spires, then the center, Sentinel Dome, small cap, which rises to 2,476 meters. Then, basically, Half Dome, Half Dome or French, or better yet Tis-sa-ack , which means The rock split into Amerindian language. With its 2693 meters and above its characteristic shape, it is well recognized! I will present more closely at the photo below. If you're a good climber, know that it is possible to climb ... Vertigo insured, of course, view but, from what I understood.

El Capitan (left) and Half Dome (right)

Well, I will not list them all. First, because I do not know them all by their first name, because there are many, and especially because it's obviously better to go there yourself and see all the way! And after you come back and tell me, of course!

But I will not forget the most famous in the world of climbing, I appointed El Capitan, 2307 meters. To -to-kon oo-lah in Amerindian. This is a granitic rock formation with a vertical of 1000 meters. Impressive, but very popular for thrill seekers!

El Capitan (2307 feet)

And finally, because we must, alas, leave at some point, even a lady: Ribbon Fall (waterfall tape) west of El Capitan. It is the largest waterfall in North America in one piece. Its height is 490 meters spectacular in the spring. Once the snow melted, it is dry, so choose your dates well! Some winters, too, she must be beautiful when a cone of ice forms at the base.
aware that there are dozens of other falls in the park, including a score are permanent.

Ribbon Fall: a drop of 490 meters!

Before you leave for today, if you decide you want a more definitive, I offer a few links. Me, I tell you plainly: we saw nothing, or very little! [message subliminal, passing ... In the wise ...]
