As we prepared for the end of our Yosemite journey, there was a small hike that needed to be traveled. Professor James was walking with me as we headed for Yosemite Falls. We joked and laughed and lived in the moment. Once we reached the bottom of the falls we climbed the rocks and let the water hit us. It was freeing, uplifting, and it was magical. The people around us were so full of joy, little kids laughing and giggling as they played in the mist. Their was an elderly couple that stood from afar and they had such a big smile on their face just looking up at the falls.
The End is Near
The hike to Lower Falls was my favorite part of this trip. Finally feeling the rush of water hit me and feeling like everything I did to get there was worth it. Yosemite is a place that people of all ages need to visit. It is wondrous, magical, and healing. It humbles you as you come back home to appreciate the trees in your backyard, the birds among them, and the small flowers below them. This place shouldn't make you believe the only beauty lies there, it is everywhere, you just have to notice it.
