Day 80 of my 100 Days of National Parks photo series celebrating the #centennial of the @nationalparkservice with this shot of autumn in the main valley of @yosemitenps Watching the president address the assembled crowds amidst the splendor of Yosemite Valley earlier this week just drove home to me how great it is to have an administration that prioritized federal lands and their critical value to the nation. Echoing the sentiment that the National Parks are America's best idea, and quoting the inimitable John Muir, Obama succeeded in validating all of my long held feelings toward the national parks. #nps100 #findyourpark #yosemite #yosemitenationalpark #meadow #mainvalley #halfdome #sentinelmountain #sunflare #americasbestidea #optoutside #getoutside #getoutstayout #wanderlust #exploreeverything #neverstopexploring #yakimaroadtrip #wekeepyououtdoors (at Yellowstone National Park)

Day 70 of my 100 Days of National Parks photo series celebrating the #centennial of the @nationalparkservice with this shot of Bridalveil Falls in @yosemitenps Bridalveil Falls is one of the first sights you come across when entering the Main Valley of Yosemite National Park, and one of the best waterfalls in the park. Though it often dries up later in the year, walking up to the lookout and feeling the cold spray on your face is a must do during the hot summer months. #nps100 #findyourpark #yosemite #yosemitenationalpark #california #bridalveilfalls #bridalveil #waterfall #yosemitewaterfalls #mainvalley #yosemitevalley #blackandwhite #nationalparks #nationalpark #getoutstayout #wanderlust #neverstopexploring #exploreeverything #repyourpark #getoutside (at Yosemite National Park)
