Further along the way.... |
Good view of Vernal Falls. The water on the lens is mist from the falls. |
Looking down over the edge, at the falls' rainbow. |
At the top of Vernal Falls |
A pretty blue lizard thing. |
We kept hiking up, towards Nevada Falls. This is before the hail storm started. |
Many miles later, after the rain and hail, we're looking back at Vernal and Nevada Falls from across the valley. We hiked ~13 miles this day, with ~5500 feet total ascent. |
on Monday Dav's knee said "no" to hiking. We rented bikes instead. |
and swam a little (Yosemite Falls in background) |
and stopped by Mirror Lake. |
This is just the first portion of Mirror Lake, I assume it gets much bigger and mirror-like further on. |
Final poses in front of Yosemite Falls |

On the way home, we saw these groovy dwarf ponies on Highway 120 |
