Well, I got a little behind updating this blog, but February proved to be pretty darn busy. Please forgive me.
The photo's in this blog are from our Yosemite Snow Creek backpack trip hosted by Paul (annual birthday hike). The top photo is where we set up base camp, with our tent nestled in the trees. It is at the top of the Snow Creek trail, just before the bridge that crosses over the creek at about 6,700 foot elevation.
The middle photo shows the outlet from Mirror Lake and was such a beautiful green reflection we couldn't pass up the opportunity to capture the moment. Lastly, our bottom photo is the iconic Half Dome, which just happens to be the view as we come out of our tent in the morning. Absolutely breathtaking! Not much snow this year, but it was cold (brrrr).
As we were sitting around the campfire this year, we realized this is our first trip with just the three of us, Paul, Christian, and Bill. In addition, we began our hike from the backpackers parking lot just below Glacier Point at an uncustomary time of 10:00pm. We took advantage of the 3/4 moon, which aided us during the treeless portion of the trail, and flipped on our headlamps as we hiked through the trees We made it to our base camp just after 2:00am, a bit tired and cold, but found it all worthwhile when we woke up looking at Half Dome.
