I had always planned to take a tour of Yosemite, and I finally fulfilled my dream last December. I cannot help but express how much I enjoyed my tour of Yosemite.
As the best-known scenic spot, Yosemite National Park is actually a natural wonder. The park is located in the middle of the Nevada mountain range and it is well-known for its huge rocks, great waterfalls and fantastic valleys.
I really need to thank my tour guide, Tony. He was very helpful and he told me a lot of interesting facts about the scenic spots we saw. As I couldn’t drive, the tour guide was also my driver. He picked me up at 8 o’clock in the morning. He was a professional and experienced tour guide, so he tried everything to make sure that I had an interesting and relaxing tour. As he was driving, he kept on telling me about the wildlife and the unique scenery in this surprising land.
Bridalveil Fall was our first stop. The best time to see it is in summer, but I didn’t go there in the hot season, so the waterfall was not as good as it could have been. I still took a photo of myself standing in front of this terrific waterfall before leaving for my next stop. When I first saw El Capitan, the largest standing sandstone structure in the world, I knew why it was called “El Capitan”. The huge structure dwarfed(使矮小) everything around it. Though I was used to seeing skyscrapers, nothing had prepared me for this.
I felt so happy and excited after I came back from Yosemite. I haven’t had this feeling for a very long time. Happiness usually comes when we do activities that accomplish something, which is a deep feeling of joy that often lasts a long time. So I decided to go out for a trip constantly to make myself happy and relaxed.
