You can see Half Dome most the way up.

2013.05.17 08:08
Priceless views.
2013.05.17 08:08
2013.05.17 08:27
Some of the best views, the base of the upper Yosemite Falls.
2013.05.17 08:27
Incredible.
2013.05.17 08:28
Just this part was worth the three days of sore legs.

There's a trail to get right next to the side of the upper falls.
2013.05.17 11:05
It's hard to capture the amazing sound of the falls in a photo.
2013.05.17 11:05
The amazing power of water.
2013.05.17 11:08
Exhilarating to lean over and see the falls.
2013.05.17 11:08
Beautiful rainbow in the spray.
2013.05.17 11:26
Now someone (not Nancy) had a brilliant idea to hike an extra 2 miles to Yosemite Point.
2013.05.17 12:06
Ah, but it's worth it when you get there.
2013.05.17 12:09
You are WAY up, about 7000 feet and the valley is at 4000 feet.
2013.05.17 12:09
Breathtaking.
