Experiência incrível! Um passeio que vale a pena para quem não tem muito tempo em SF. O parque é muito bonito e vale a pena pelo menos conhecer um pouquinho dele. O dia é puxado (o passeio começa logo cedo e a volta é só de noite), porém a experiência de conhecer Yosemite compensa. A guia que pegamos foi excelente! Uma pessoa com muita energia e carisma.
