Yosemite

Here are a few photos from our late March Yosemite trip. My dad and Helen stayed in a hotel in Wawona, while Gina and I stayed in a (very cold) cabin in Yosemite Valley itself. Here we are (with our matching Yunnan-style hats) at the Tunnel View coming in from Wawona:



On the first afternoon, the four of us strolled to Mirror Lake. I climbed a rock:



On the second day, we took the Mist Trail followed by the John Muir Trail until we had a nice view of Nevada Falls. The trail beyond the bridge (Dad and Helen didn't go beyond that point) had certain stretches of snow, so that at times we actually had to scramble off the trail to get up the hill. Here's Gina in front of Nevada Falls:



On the third day, Gina and I went up as far as we had time for on the Yosemite Falls Trail. We ended up with a lovely view of the Upper Falls (Gina was convinced I wouldn't make it into position in time for the timed shot...that's why she's not smiling!):
