Hiking to Dewey and Crocker Points : On Friday I went up to Yosemite ahead of everyoe else. I spent the afternoon completing a 9 mile hike that took me to Dewey and Crocker Points. Both were amazing spots that overlooked Yosmeite Valley. I would recommedn this hike. It's mostly flat and there are some spectaculor views. Bring a lunch and eat it on the rocks at Dewey Point. : )

Views from Galcier Point : I spent some time Friday evening at Glaicer Point. I wish I could have caught the sunset, but I really needed dinner! So I got some early evening shots and headed back to camp. I love Glacier Point looking over the enitre Valley area and Vernal and Nevada falls. Whenever I look at these photos, I just can't believe we hiked all the way to Half Dome. That's a lot of eleveation in just 8 miles. I know I'll be back to do it again.

Tioga Pass : Prior to Leaving the Park, Dave and I drove out the Tioga pass through the north part of the park. We did this last year and I love it up there. There is a wonderful lake nestled in the mountains. I love the lake and dream of going kayaking there one day. I think some time Dave and I are going to go camp up in this part of the park and just enjoy the beauty that a lot of people don't go to.

Valley Floor : On sunday we went down to the Valley floor. We stopped at Bridal Veil falls for a few phots on the tripod. Then we went to the valley and met Kevin and Ahhley at Lower Yosemite Falls to play in the pools of water. Talk about cold water! But it is all snow melt. Kevin and Ashley swam out to the falls while I took their photos. It was windy and very misty. So we moved down to some of the lower pools and hung out. It was like be at a natural water park. No resort can ever top that. Before leaving Dave and I stopped for a few more photos. I just had to get black and whites of Half Dome. I'm so fasicanted by this huge rock that stands out almost anywhere in the valley.
