Yosemite

This place is awesome. Didn't go into the valley (but got a kick ass view from where we hiked up to), but entered from the east - Tioga Road entrance. It was a gorgeous day - still had snow caps on some of the mountains, but a bright, beautiful sky - got hot up at 9,500 ft!

Lake on the way up - we ate lunch looking at this view. They put up a bunch of signs to keep your food always at arm's length, lest a bear be tempted to come over & get it! And if you are confronted by a bear, scream like hell to scare it away - I kind of wanted to scream like a raving lunatic to freak people out...hahaha...

Can't remember the name of this rock formation, but we climbed all the way to the top - the big rock on the right of the bridge. The climb up was probably a 45 degree ascent - needed a rest after that.

We climbed North Dome, which had an amazing view of Half Dome (pictured above).
