Yosemite National Park

During my cross-country trip I intentionally decided not to visit any places in California because I would have plenty of time to do that while living here. So now as a resident of Fresno, a city located within an hour of Yosemite National Park, I felt compelled to visit it once again (yes, I was lucky to have been here a few years back). 

For some reason, I did not remember much from my last trip, so everything appeared somewhat new. The views at Glacier Point are absolutely stunning and seem almost unreal:

Unfortunately, the shuttle system is absolutely awful! The buses only go every half an hour with a line on weekends extending so far, that you have to wait for 2-3 buses until your turn comes. Because of this poorly organized shuttle system, we were not able to visit the Yosemite Valley and headed back to Fresno. 

But we were lucky that day. On the way out of the park towards Fresno we saw a group of people standing by the side of the road taking pictures of something. We stopped and saw a bear!!!
