After a good night of sleep, we started the day with a fresh wake up. Temperature dropped at night... only 7C to start your day is tough. This reminded me of the trip to Inner Mongolia where we were nice and warm in the blankets in the yurt and struggled a lot to convince ourselves to step out in the cold.
We packed everything quickly. That was easy given we had brought very little things compare to our neighbours and drove to
Glacier Point.
Glacier Point is 2200m high and offers an amazing view on the Yosemite Valley (some 1000m below). We've done many (a lot of) view points during this vacation and once again we are standing in front of breathtaking view. It's not as impressive as Grand Canyon (honestly hard to beat) but still it's simply beautiful. On top the sun was still rising bringing incredible light.
Glacier Point Upper Terrace
What is what:
The overhanging rock... clearly a pity that I couldn't get over the fence and sit there. I'm sure I would get the feeling of flying above the Valley.
The Yosemite Falls - the ones that were out of water :(
Yosemite Valley: Merced river and Curry Village (where we had excellent pizza)
North Dome and Basket Dome
Mirror Lake and Half Dome
Mt Hoffman
Half Dome
Exhilarating feelings at the top of the world (kind of)
Nevada Fall, where we walked to the top. It was indeed quite a climb actually.
Relaxing at the top :)
