During my visit to Yosemite National Park, I had lots of fun. The beautiful trees towered above me, they felt like the tallest things in the world besides the gigantic mountains themselves. The glacier water extremely cold! When me and my brother were exploring a nearby creek, my foot was caught under a rock and I fell in! The water was freezing, and we had to go back to the lodge so I could dry off. The water was amazingly clear, and whenever I got thirsty during a hike, I could just drink the delicious glacier water!
