My first view of the valley!
El Capitan with an HHR for scale.
Wyatt in front of Bridalveil falls.
The moss on the trees glowed eerily.
Just before this he almost wiped out on the ice.
Morning sunlight on a partially frozen stream.
Lower Yosemite Falls with random people for scale.
Almost the entirety of Yosemite Falls behind my noggin.
Half Dome!
Wyatt posing dramatically as a photographer.
I forget this rock's name, but it was huge just like all the others.
It might look cold, but it was actually about 60 down in the valley.
Crystal clear.
Half Dome! With Pine Tree!
Mirror Lake with Wyatt!
Snow cones, pine cones, aren't they really the same?
The Royal Arches.
This rock was across from El Capitan. Maybe it's El Sargeant?
No picture can adequately capture the immensity of this slab of rock.
The Evergreen Lodge's Ping Pong building.
The Lodge had some nice chairs for kicking back in.
The dam in Hetch Hetchy valley.
Yosemtie's Twin, Hetch Hetchy Valley. And Wyatt.
The tunnel that leads to the trail. Spooky.
Damn.
I'm a big fan of the Appalachians, but this place was something else entirely!
Manzanita meets Sky.
That big sucker (the rock) didn't have a name on the map but it was most impressive.
Wyatt dares to cross a raging torrent!
If we'd had pine cones like this growing up I'd have more scars.
These rocks were at the bottom of the falls and are small potatoes compared to what is surrounding us.
Wapoma Falls.
Another action shot of photographer Wyatt at work! Oh, and there is come nice scenery too...
We dubbed the foreground rock, “Little Brother” and the background one, “Big Brother”.
The trail is on the right.
Wyatt and Big Brother.
Wyatt found a nice, granite lounge chair.
Caspar David Freidrich moment!
The trail here was made up of nicely placed granite.
Artsy moment.
Manzanita.
The outlet for the Dam. The reservoir provides water and power to San Francisco.
Our room was the left half of this charming cabin.
On the right is the rec center and dead ahead is the bar/restaurant.
This fella was having almost as much fun in the snow as we were.
The bar. The real gem of the trip.
In the San Joaquin valley there were apple trees as far as you could see.
