A Trip to Yosemite (Alex)

  I participated in a trip held by USA student tour this weekend. My friends in the same university of my hometown and I went to the Yosemite trip together this weekend and we really had a lot of fun there. Yosemite is a well-known national park south east to the Berkeley where a lot of natural view and wildlife are preserved. It took about 4 hours to get to the national park from UC Berkeley which is a 184 miles journey.

  We visited some famous places in Yosemite such as the tunnel tree, Yosemite valley and water falls. There are really lots of giant trees in Yosemite which I've never seen ever before and they're very beautiful and majestic.

 

  Yosemite valley is another popular place to visit in Yosemite. It is glacial landform where U-shaped valley can be recognized and is also very fantastic place to visit!

  The second day, we made a stop at the 16th stop at Yosemite valley and hiked up to the peak of a mountain. After a 2.5 hours hiking, we eventually saw the water fall there. All of us were very pleasant to see this since it is not easy for people to see water falls in this season. Most part of the places in California suffer from drought in summer. However, the beauty of the nature really healed us physically and mentally. 

  It was this tour that I had a chance to treasure the nature and a new page of record in my stay in California!
