Yosemite NP/Expert Profile

Expertise

Willing to answer Yosemite National Park questions, general sights, trails, what to do, etc.

Experience in the area

I am merely a Yosemite lover, who has gone to Yosemite at least once a year since about 1983. I have completed several of the "major" hikes around the Valley floor, but I am merely a day hiker. I have great admiration for the rock climbers and backpackers, but I am merely a camper and dayhiker. Hikes completed: Half Dome base (threat of lightning kept me from cables), To the top of Yosemite fall from Valley, Vernal & Nevada Fall, Glacier Point to Valley Floor, via Panaroma Trail, and many more

What do you like about this subject?

What is not to love about Yosemite. I love its beauty and grandeur, its expression of life and nature. Year round, my extended Yosemite family looks forward to our annual re-union with this magnificent Paradise. This is what Heaven must look like.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I would like to become more familiar with the Yosemite High Country, as well as some of the surrounding parks.
