Our route, roughly.
We had intended to do another route, but when we arrived, we found it was still too snow-covered. The North Rim was our other choice, and it turned out to be wonderful. Especially with (or maybe despite of) the advice we got - from a couple of very drunk Texans at the backpackers' campsite the night before we started - about an unmarked trail through (or rather, straight up) some rock slides...
Scrabble, travelers' edition - to pass the time at the backpackers' campsite the night before getting started...
Gabe: Really?? "GRIEF??" Come on, Meg, we're on vacation now...
Off we go.
The rock slides...
View of Yosemite Valley...
Ribbon Meadow, on our second day out. We were trekking over snow moments later...
Taking a rest on a cliff...
Campsite, day two.
View from North Dome, day 3.
Half Dome!
View of Half Dome, at our campsite on the final night.
Sunrise at the Arch at Indian Rock, day 4.
I believe Gabe is making oatmeal up there.
