The creek is still quite swollen.
It was really neat to see the power of water coming down the valley.
Unfortunately, this picture did not turn out as well as I hoped. Field of beautiful flowers.
Looking over the valley towards our destination
As we broke out of the trees, we started getting some beautiful views of the rock formations.
You can see that today was beautiful. Very few clouds and haze.
More beautiful views of the granite rocks. Notice the trees growing out of the crevices.
We stopped for lunch at this location. We thought this was an amazing view.
You can see how the river cut this valley.
The pyramid rock in the center of this picture was always within our view.
Half Dome in the distance. Our destination was the junction to Half Dome.
Couldn't get enough of this view.
I thought this gives you a good perspective of the terrain.- Let's just say I was excited about climbing Half Dome.
Half Dome! In later pictures you will see the size of Half Dome's summit.
One more shot of the valley as we head out after lunch.
You can see the smaller hump we have to conquer before getting to the top of Half Dome.
Yet again, Half Dome!
The Pyramid Peak! I am not sure if we ever figured out what the real name of this peak is.
These are the Quarter Domes.
We walked through a section that had gone through a burn quite some time ago.
You can get a pretty good perspective of how a fire really raveged this area.
Look closely, do you see the Ptarmigan?
View of Half Dome from our campsite. We had the best campsite. Low mosquito count, shade and sun and great views and trails to Half Dome and Clouds Rest all around us.
Visitor to our campsite.
Our campsite with my tent to the right.
This was our drying rock and you can see Tom's tent in the background.
Half Dome at Sunset.
I thought the branches on this tree and the sunset in the background was a neat picture.
