Window Views and Doors Too / Our View of the Merced River, El Portal, California USA

We spent nearly a week in Yosemite National Park a few weeks ago.
We got a room at the Yosemite View Lodge in El Portal, California, which is just 2 miles outside the west entrance to the national park.
This was our view of the Merced River from the inside of our room.
This is only 1/2 of the window.

We left it open a few inches at night so we could hear the thunderous sound of the water, even though the temperature was down in the 30's.

Sitting out on the balcony was heavenly.

Watery Wednesday / The Merced River at Yosemite National Park, California USA

Our hotel room was right on the Merced River just outside the west gate of Yosemite National Park in El Portal.

I took these photos from our second level balcony in the early morning on March 25, 2010.

We left our window open about 2" during the night so we could hear the roar of this mighty river.

It was in the 30's outside overnight but, we stayed warm inside.
