We recently took a trip out to Yosemite National Park to explore nature, see the milky way, and chase down the NEOWISE Comet. Supposedly the next time we will see a comet like this is around 6,000 years from now. Luckily we planned the trip around the moon being in its smallest phase so we could see the stars really well. This national park is really something special and feels like there could be dinosaurs roaming around. It's so massive. We managed to see a few Bears but no Dinosaurs. The park was only at 50% capacity which was nice because the wildlife was more relaxed about roaming around the park. Here is a small collection of photos from the trip:
