WONDERFUL YOSEMITE By Soren Donahue

Yosemite is one of the most spectacular places on earth.

There are vast gallons of water cascading down. Pines rise from a thick carpet of forest.Sharp rocks rise like teeth from the hill.Every mismatched rock is different some round some curvy some sharp,all around you.Spires of tall twisted rock thick and twisted into fantastic shapes.

I saw sapphire blue sky’s.There were big cleaves and scars in the cliff. Squirrels  Were everywhere in the the bush on the trees. There were steep ledges on the cliffs on top the the cliffs and cliffs covered in bark.

I saw slippery steep steps carved into the side of the hill. There were cascades of water raining down making the grass slippery.Black rocks were set against the green of the grass. The trails are carved into the hill.The trail breaks into the woods giving us a different view of the woods giving us a different  view of the woods instead of rocks and grass.

Yosemite is by far one of the most beautiful places on Earth!
