The valley

I wish they had camping for at least an evening because there is so much to see inside the park and so much rock to climb. We are splitting our days between climbing and hiking. The photo is of mirror lake with Half Dome on the rightside of the photo. We did a short little hike today that was only suppose to be a mile but turned out to be 5 after a few wrong turns and no way to cross the normally small stream. There has been so snow this year that the streams are flowing at full capacity. All the snow has made the park so vibrant but half of the campgrounds aren't opened yet. Maybe next time we will plan ahead and make reservations....na..it is better to be spontaneous. Well off to Crater Lake, I hope the snow hasn't closed the park...Ha, Ha a park closed what a laugh.
