VERNAL STRESS - Out West, Day 2
How can such a beautiful place be so stressful?
Slippery stairs, a sprained ankle, and constant mist and water on thousands of dollars of photography equipment, that's how.
Yosemite is on Miwok and Western Sierra land.
Yosemite is the name wrongly given to the region by Anglo explorers. Yosemite means
“those who kill” in the native language. The people of Yosemite called Yosemite Valley Awooni or Owwoni for (gaping) “large mouth”.
The Yosemite people called themselves as Ah-wah-ne-chee, or “dwellers of Ahwahnee.”
