yosemite is awsome! Went there for the first time in November last year. All the falls were going and there was hardly anyone there! It was a bit cold but still really neat. We stayed at the Tanya lodge which was really nice. I would love to stay at the old lodge right there in the valley but it is really $$$$$$$$$ I can't justify spending that much on a room i am only going to sleep in and not hang out in. With all that beuty around you why would you stay in your room? Have fun!!! Say hi to the bears!
