Ski Diving. This is one activity which will definitely get your adrenaline pumping!!

Tandem Skydiving is the best choice for those who have decided to jump for the first time. You are connected via a harness to an experienced skydiver ("tandem master"). You can experience total exhilaration while freefalling through the fathomless sky at 120mph for roughly 3 mins, as in my case. At most places you can even video-shoot your jump.

How it all works-- A group of skydivers will fly in an aircraft to an altitude of around 13,000 feet, and free-fall for a period of time before activating a parachute to slow the landing down to safe speeds. Once the parachute is opened, you can control your direction and speed with cords that are attached to the parachute, and aim for the landing site.

Skydivers are always looking for something new to do in the air. Another crazy thing people end up doing is Stuff Jump. In these jumps the skydivers jump out with some object. Rubber raft jumps are popular, where the jumpers sit in a rubber raft. At a certain height the jumpers break off from the object and deploy their parachutes, leaving it to crash into the ground at a very high speed.There are some variations in the types of jumps which include Wingsuit flying, Formation skydiving, Skysurfing; in which the skydiver wears a board attached to his or her feet and performs surfing aerobatics during freefall.

There are also options for Indoor skydiving available at various places. It enables you to do all kinds of acrobatics and experience the air hitting your body, all in a vertical tunnel with a huge blower on the floor.

Yosemite National Park, CA adventure

Yosemite, California! Ahh its a beauty which still simmers inside my mind..
I'll try to keep this post more informative, than personal. Check the comments on my adventure apologue.

The best way to get here is definitely by road.
Once you get there, you have plenty of options for accommodation. Nevertheless, you need to make reservations well in advance if you intent to make your trip during the busy summer months! Among the two most common options of camping and lodging; I would highly recommend Camping. You will totally enjoy sleeping under the stars, in the tent, relishing barbecued hot dogs, potato, corn and beer, sitting around the bonfire!! I totally enjoyed that part!

Now lets get into some action. The best things to do in Yosemite is Hiking, Biking, Rock Climbing , Water Activities (don't miss Rafting here) and Winter Sports. Yosemite is covered with peaks and valleys and a couple of waterfalls. The Half Dome is a Yosemite icon and rises nearly 5000 feet above the Valley. The Half Dome Day Hike is an exciting, arduous hike and the best rated by me. Make sure you have enough time because it could take nearly 10 hours to hike to Half Dome and back. The most unique part of this hike, if you reach the end, is the ascent up the cables. There are many other hikes, like the one along the Glacier Point road, Hikes in Wawona and the Mariposa Grove, Hetch Hetchy and Tuolumne Meadows. If you get here in the winter, which is from Mid- December to March, definitely enjoy the Downhill Skiing and Snowboarding and Ice Skating in the outdoor Ice skating ring.
With all this said I feel like planning a trip to Yosemite again. All Yosemiters please add your comments and additional information!
