How to Get to Yosemite National Park

I have had couples of best moments in my life one of them being my two weeks tour at Yosemite National Park. I felt in touch and connected to the atmospheres of this mysterious Park. Before my visit, I overheard of the beauty of the park some months before the semester came to an end. During my holiday, I booked a reservation to get a chance of experiencing what other people say about the park. I was in a group of four, and everything in the park was as per my imagination. Yosemite National Park is a land of great history. The Park was created in the year 1890 and is currently one of the old preserved parks in the country. The Park is a wonderland of biological diversity and geological information. I spread nearly 1200 square miles on the west side of the Sierra Nevada in central eastern California. Many people have had an opportunity to set their feet on this magical land of bio-diversity. Approximately, three million visitors flock this wonderland to enjoy the sight and also interact and feel connected with the beautiful nature in this place. The day I set my feet on this land, I came to understand why it is one of the priorities of any visitors in the country. The parks services, sites, activities, and wild animals were impressive. 

The Services 

I had a positive connection with the park's services because the level of hospitality was friendly. The customer's demands are challenging to meet and in the crowded world of companies, the customers' needs shifts and thus difficult to predict. However, Yosemite matched my standards and expectation with their services. First, they offer online services, which are my favorite. I did not want to go all the way to the Park to book a reservation; hence, the arrangement of the place was helpful (Chan, 2017). We used the online channel and booked our ticket online. Further, there were services for the disability, and this was very critical for my disabled friend. He found it easy to access every place we visited within the Park. Besides, I had a pet because the park allows people to sign in with their pets, which was marvelous for me. Furthermore, there was internet availability and free Wi-Fi ( Science & Earth, 2019). Finally, I did not have a problem with my cellphone network, and this was helpful for me since I could coordinate well with others. 

Activities 

I had an appositive connection with some of the activities the Park offers to the clients. Yosemite Park is the land of all activities one would like to enjoy before the world ends. Every activity at this Park is a touch of class. I also had a great experience in some of this activity since I was involved in most of them for the first time in my life. Besides, I had an opportunity to join the troops that went for camping at Tap water, and Creek water rests rooms. Though we did not have much time, we had a little time to visit the showers that were available at Yosemite Valley at Half dome village. It was among the most memorable day of my life. Furthermore, we had tours within the Park. It was a bus tour that begun at Yosemite Valley. During our trip, I visited four places. We started on the Valley floor tour that took around two hours. The next tour was the glacier point tour. It was a four hours tour, and it was marvelous. It was a trip to the glacier point and back. The last visit was Tuolumne Meadows Tour that took almost a whole day. During this tour, I felt close to nature for the first time in my life. During the tour, I achieved what I missed in my entire life as the site was marvelous not to mention the tour itself. 

After touring the beautiful sites, the next activities were fishing and bird watching. There were many regulations for one to fish within the Park, and it was an enjoyable activity during my stay at the park. The activity was a catch and release fishing at El Portal, and I remember fishing the rainbow trout and releasing them into the water. I also caught brown trout, and I was allowed to keep three of them. I still remember this activity as if it happened yesterday. It was my first time and best experience since birth. After that, it was my time to enjoy the scene of countless birds. The Park had over 165 species of migrating birds. “Designated a World Heritage Site and an Important Bird Area, the park harbors diverse avian assemblages and habitats, numerous bird species of special concern, and prized habitat ranging from gently sloping foothill grasslands, through chaparral/oak woodland and giant conifer forests, up to windswept alpine meadows and peaks” (Chan, 2017). I also had a chance to watch all these birds, and it was a special moment and a special feeling. 

Places I visited 

In the park, I had a chance to visits different exciting sites. First, I visited the park at the best time to watch the waterfalls as according to the tour guides, the waterfalls trickle during May and June. By August, they completely dry out. I also had a chance to watch Yosemite falls which are estimated to fall from 1,430 feet ( Clary, 2016). Besides, I watched this fall at a distance while standing at Yosemite Valley around Yosemite Village. It was a marvelous scene and enjoyable. I also saw the Ribbon Fall which is estimated to fall from 1,612 feet. I saw the Ribbon Fall while driving to Yosemite Valley, which is beyond the turn for Bridalveil Fall. The last one was the Nevada falls which are estimated to fall from594 feet. I had a view of this fall when I was at Glacier Point. All these were terrific sights ( Clary, 2016). I also visited lakes and rivers before proceeding to visit the wild animals. I had a connection with different animals mostly the bears. I could stay in this place for more than a year but could not be satisfied with the scene. My last place was the museums that were also available within the Park. The museums were brimming with a lot of historical things that added flavor to already outstanding service and features within this place. I must say that I had a connection not only with the attractive atmospheres within the borders of this Park but also with powerful feature and sites I visited during my two weeks tour.
