June 7, 2010 - Photo of the Day (Yosemite Edition Pt. 1)



Steven and I took our annual "outdoorsy" vacation to Yosemite National Park in California, quite possibly the most beautiful place I have ever been. This photo was taken on our first day in the park (after being woken up by a BEAR in our camp!) at an overlook of Half Dome. Half Dome is THE most epic hike in the park: 14 miles, 12 hours and ascending almost 5,000 vertical feet. At the very top, steel cables guide the way as you haul yourself up the side of the giant granite dome. Steven and I were hoping to be able to attempt the climb, but the cables weren't up yet because of late snow. Above, I'm demonstrating about as close to the top of Half Dome as I'm going to get.
