about the general area:
Bridalveil Meadow is a pretty site any time of year, and Silver Strand Falls is an inspiring place to visit while you're here.
Some nearby water includes Artist Creek, and the scenery at Cascade Dam is scenic. So much exciting stuff to do here in
the Central Sierra Nevada, too tremendous to be true. The beauty of mother nature reveals herself at Fern Spring, and you can stay the night at Indian Flat RV Park. Man, is there a lot of amusing things to do in the Central Sierra Nevada. Soar down the rapids of Yosemite Creek
in a kayak, and Yosemite Valley is a good site to spend some time.
Summit Meadow is a good site to check out, and if you're looking for a delightful spree, Yosemite National Park is relatively near. A wooded neighborhood close to Pohono Trail is Tuolumne Grove, and Meadow Brook
is one of the streams close by that might be worth going to. If only every place had this much outdoors exciting things, what a great earth it would be. Paddling on Merced River is so much fun, and Bridalveil Campground is a tremendous campground nearby.
