Yosemite - The Merced Grove, Liberty Cap, and The Merced River
Not a Giant Sequoia. Merced Grove.
Giant Sequoia. Merced Grove.
Liberty Cap.
Parking Fail. I pulled up next to this car thinking I'd park there but then saw the bear damage. Took a few pictures and parked at the other end of the lot. Guess these guys forgot to read the sign they parked in front of.
The destination: Liberty Cap. From the top of Nevada Falls.
The John Muir Trail carved through the granite below Nevada Falls.
Little Yosemite from Liberty Cap's Northeast Gully.
The forgotten side of Half Dome.
Banzai Tree at the very top of Liberty Cap.
More Half Dome and Bonzai Tree.
Looking back towards Yosemite Valley and Happy Isles from Liberty Cap.
The bridge above Nevada Falls from the top of Liberty Cap.
Half Dome, Mount Broderick, and Liberty Cap from the Mist Trail.
The awesome Vernal Falls.
To that night's campsite on the Wild & Scenic Merced River.

Pyramid Peak. Desolation Wilderness.
Can you see camp? (Click on the pic--It's next to the waterfall on the left of the photo.)
A couple more panos. Click for bigger view.
What a trip. One of the greatest campsites ever, but what a long, hard trek to get there. Only about eleven miles or so round trip, but almost entirely across granite and broken rock. Not much actual trail on this one.
At the bottom of Horsetail Falls.
Going up the slabs around Horsetail Falls. No trail here.
Horsetail with late summer flows.
Once above the falls, its all lakes all the time. This one is Toem Lake.
Took a swim break at Toem Lake.
And a nap break too.
The "trail".
Gefo Lake.
More scrambling on granite.
Found this amazing campsite on a shelf about halfway up Pyramid Peak. We had smooth granite to sleep on, a private waterfall, and a little moss garden. Oh, and an amazing view over the Desolation Valley towards Lake Tahoe. Such a great spot.
