Yosemite - 2015

First stop after flying to San Francisco - the Golden Gate Bridge!
In-N-Out Double Double with an onion and Animal Fries (with no spread...ridiculous!
People love taking pictures of deer at Yosemite...there's a giant crowd around all deer.
Moon is about to peek out behind Half Dome
Hey look - it's my current operating system (El Capitan)
The free shuttles around the park are a godsend after all that hiking!
El Capitan
They had telescopes set up to look at climbers on El Capitan. I tried to see the clibers without the telescope but couldn't make any out.

Early early morning starting off my Half Dome hike. Nothing like a few miles of stairmaster starting at 5 in the morning.
It just keeps going and going...
Big trees...tough to explain how tall those are
Me on top of Half Dome!
Those were two difficult miles!
Me on top of Half Dome!
Note a few people climbing up the cables in the middle of the screen. That's quite an incline!
Hike to the sub-dome...yikes!
Not a place for people who aren't sure-footed or are scared of heights
Yosemite Valley
Scraggly little tree living on top of Half Dome
Check out the two guys towards the bottom. They were climbing out on that little ledge earlier. CRAZY!
A view of Nevada Falls from the Mist trail on the way back down.
The price of admission to the top of Half Dome. These cables are all you've got...no steps between here and the top!
Look at the little rock outcropping pointing up in the middle of the picture. There were people slack-lining between the outcropping and the cliff. I wish I had my zoom lens with me to get a picture of it.
Nice lake...
My home away from home for 4 nights.
View from Glacier Point of Vernal Fall. Note the path on the right...those are all stairs. You better believe that was part of my Half Dome hike.
View from Glacier Point of Curry Village - the place I stayed while in Yosemite. My tent is roughly in the middle of the frame.
