Yosemite

This was the second time I have been at Yosemite and it was just as beautiful as the last time I went there. We did the Vernal Falls hike again and this time it was absolutely breath taking. This year there was a 300% snow pack so the volume of water flowing over the falls was three times as much as normal. The spray from the water fall was more like a monsoon than a mist. The valley is absolutely beautiful as well. The only problem is there is a lot of traffic. I wish that Yosemite would try to be more like Zion. In Zion cars are only allowed to travel so far and then you can only take the bus to most stops. This means there is no traffic and a lot less pollution. This would be a smart thing for all National Parks to do and it would be very easy and cheap to implement. Hopefully one day that will happen.
