We couldāve spent so much more time at Yosemite National Park. We are grateful that we were able to visit this amazing place before COVID-19 was spreading here in the US and the Shelter-in-Place directives were in effect. Yosemite is a really crowded park and I donāt think it would be possible to practice social … Continue reading Mirror Lake – Yosemite National Park – California
