From Zion, we went on to Lake Tahoe, then Yosemite and finally, Sequoia. I'd been to Lake Tahoe previously, but only spent a few hours there. This time, we drove around the entire lake, stopping here and there for views and a picnic.

Yosemite is mystical, magical and majestic.

This was probably the hardest hike I've ever done - a vertical climb of 400 feet, but oh so worth it.

From half-dome, seen below, to the magnificent creature you see below that, to the spectacular valley, Yosemite was filled with wonders.

I will leave you with one last thought about our trip. While strolling through these magnificent, ancient trees, I received a message: Stand tall; be proud; you are majestic. I pass that along to all of you,
With many blessings,
Karen

The size of those magnificent trees send a shiver of awe over me. Trees live so much longer than humans. I love the message. Trees are so important to our planet. I'm working them into my plot about the time a comet strikes Earth and changes the future.
Awesome, Francene.
I'm heading off to Santa Fe for the day, but will respond to comments tomorrow.

Wow! Love the photos...also love the message at the end of the post. Thank you for sharing them Karen.
You saw a coyote? Four years in New Mexico and I only saw one. (And he was rather mangy.)
Beautiful photos, Karen.
Such beautiful pictures and I agree with the lesson :)
