Creeks

One of the fascinating aspects of visiting a National park, is encountering unexpected settings. The yosemite creek on a crisp morning is a sight of tranquility.

BridalVeil Falls - Yosemite

If you are visiting yosemite National park anytime of the year and eager to see an active water fall, you can place your bet on Bridalveil. The base of this 620 feet fall can be reached through a short (1/2 mile) trail. The power of the canyon breeze blows the fall back and forth, giving the falls a "veil-like" look. The pictures above were taken during fall season, however the waterfall is most active in spring.

Giant Sequoia - Sequoia and kings Canyon

Among the tallest trees on earth, they can be over 100 meters in length and 5-10 meters at the base. Besides this National park, Sequoia tree a.k.a Redwoods can also be seen at many places along the california coast. I have seen them at BigSur and at Muir Woods, San Francisco.

Stalactites - Sequoia and Kings Canyon

Such wonderful stalactite and stalagmite formations can be seen in the crystal cave at Sequoia and Kings Canyon National park. This art work is carved by Nature with the help of water droplets, limestone and ofcourse time - millions of them!!

Delicate Arch

A moderate 1.5 mile hike from the parking area takes visitors to this touted arch in the Arches National park in Moab, Utah. The man in the picture gives a sense of this 52 feet giant standing out at the edge of the mountain. The hiker does not get a sense of this wonder until the very end of the trail.
