I was lucky enough to have been born in Yosemite and raised in nearby Mariposa. I have so many wonderful memories of camping, fishing, hiking,skiing and just general outdoor experiences. If you need to re-focus or just get away from busy living… you have to see Yosemite. I always had such an euphoric peacefulness whenever I entered the park, especially the High Sierras… it is too unbelievable to miss!! Support the small town of Mariposa on your way through as the people who live there are special people… they will give you the shirt off their backs if you need it. Down to earth and willing to help!
