Yosemite Day 1

On Labor Day weekend, to celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary (!) we went to Yosemite. Brian's been to the park several times for climbing, I had been once visiting Toulumne Meadows, which as I discovered, didn't do the park justice.


We did two day hikes while we were there. This post includes pictures from our 9-mile roundtrip hike to North Dome.


















Standing on India Rock, the only natural arch in Yosemite.  Granite arches are unusual.

Hiking back up from the turnaround point.








One last look at Half Dome.



Victory!
