In February 1999 I first visited Yosemite National Park.  At that time I was only able to visit Yosemite Valley.  On Saturday August 28th I visited the Giant Sequoia trees in the Mariposa Grove.  Pictures of the Giant Sequoia Trees are shown on this page.  I also hiked out to Taft Point and Glacier Point for spectacular views of El Capitan, The Valley Floor and Half Dome.
