Yosemite Valley possesses one of the most beatiful scenary in the world and is particularly renowned for its spectacular waterfalls and giant rocks. Among them, Yosemite Fall is probably the most vistied place in the valley. While most people visit Lower Yosemite Fall only, Upper Yostemite Fall is definitely worthy to pay a visit at least once in a lifetime for its great views on the valley and surroundings. The hike to Upper Yosemite Fall...
If Granite turns you on, Yosmite National Park is the place to be, and the trail to Clouds Rest is one to be on. Clouds Rest (elevation 9926 feet) is one of those summits in
Yosemite National Park from where one can "look down" on Half Dome (elevation 8800 ft) and enjoy a 360 degree panaromic view of Yosemite high peaks. The hike from Tenaya Lake to Clouds rest is a...
Hike up Mist trail, down Muir trail. Long day!
On Friday we drove from Wawona down to the Valley and stopped at Glacier Point. The sky was clear and the views were amazing, as expected. A few of us (Me, my Dad, brother, Susan, and Cara) decided to hike down to the Valley along the Panorama Trail and meet the others down there. We started off on our 8.5-mile hike and immediately stopped every few seconds to take another picture, the views were...

It's pretty early in the season for Yosemite backpacking, but Hetch Hetchy is free and clear of snow so I decided to head out for the weekend and check out the wildflowers and waterfalls. My goal was to hike to Rancheria Falls on Saturday morning, set up camp, and then bag LeConte Point in the afternoon. Sunday I'd hike out and get back to the Bay Area with plenty of time for...

The hike itself was easy and the side trip to Indian Rock arch was good. Total trip time 7 hours and 53 minutes. Hiking time was about 4 hours.
A lot to do in 4 days for us, but we had a great time. Lots of snattle rakes in Pate Valley and on the trail. more than i cared to see. The climb out is brutal going up to White Wolf, but we made it in pretty good time. lots of water to play in too, cold though.
The Ten Lakes hike is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The hike begins at 7500 feet. The walk in is a steady climb, until you reach 9000 feet or so, and then the trail climbs steeply to 9600 feet Ten Lakes Pass. The panoramic view from up there is breathtaking with a view of the Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne and 4 of the 10 lakes. Then one descends...
