Sequoias? Yeah!!!
Big, gigantic trees, lovely wild flowers, fresh smells of the woods...What a wonderful morning!
Why visit Tuolume Grove? Because the entire hike to the grove is downhill (for the first half). And the grove itself contains a couple dozen mature Giant Sequoias, including one you can walk through. It's called "the Tunnel Tree".
Wanted to take on the challenge to climb the Half Dome again. A few years back, when I first climbed the Half Dome, although I did make all the way up there, I had a totally horrible time. So, this time, I want to see whether I could do better. Ha, ha..... Hope for a good start.
Feeling good....This time maybe at least I could get up to the little Yosemite.
Too proud to get to this far.
Don't think I wanted to climb that last 200 feet. It is totally crazy and suicidal. Take a rest at the bottom of the Half Dome. Good enough for today.
