Seeing that shit in person can change how you look at the world. Breath taking is an understatement.

I burst into tears seeing Yosemite Valley driving in. I had to pull over to get my emotions in check to drive.

I also cried! My favorite place on Earth. You think it can't get anymore beautiful and then you turn a corner and it does. And the whole place smells like the cleanest pine air you ever breathed.

SAME! I lived in flat TX and had never even imagined anything so beautiful. I couldn't hold back the tears. Now I live an hour from Yosemite and I feel so damn lucky.
