Half Dome Experience



Half Dome, Yosemite: After a long time I felt I could just keep walking ! The 8.2mi hike to top was very scenic and even in the heat of July I felt I just can walk a lot. Nearly a break of one year since I did a strenuous hike. As I viewed from top, the scene was blurred by the forest fires by the forest management ... and I cursed them for spoiling my day!


This is what is referred as Diving Board of Half Dome. Photo courtesy: Fahad

Will post more shots from this trip soon ...

damn those fire department!! as soon as i was entering national park, saw the smokes, and it actually blocked whole view of valley from glacier point :(( I wonder why they chose long weekend for doing this :(

Awesome photo, and good job.. 11.5hrs is good.
