Fantastic Run!  Sucess!

Took my lazy ass on a focused run to Cloud's Rest. Something like 13 miles in 4 hours was sufficient to call it a great day.

Better views than Half Dome  Sucess!

Day hiked this one with Michael E. from our campsite in Little Yosemite the day after hiking Half Dome. Well worth the effort.

Backpack  Sucess!

Day 2 of a 3 day trek starting and ending at Happy Isles. Spent the first day up the Mist Trail and then followed the Merced past LYV. Caught some bows and browns along the way near Bunnell Cascade, we sewt up camp near Merced Lake. Towards the end of day 2 we made our way up the eastern route to Clouds Rest and joined the group of people already enjoying the view. We spoke to a couple finishing the JMT who were spending their last night near the summit. We then proceeded down the western trail and camped near the JMT intersection to summit Half Dome the next morning.

Fine hike  Sucess!

The air was tinged with fire smoke and the trail from Sunrise was a bit dusty, but views over the valley and especially Tenaya were still great. Not an overabundance of people on a Friday.

Re: Out and back from Tenaya Lake

I wore thicker boots and the rock still took an unexpected toll on my feet, even though I was fairly well conditioned.

From Sunrise TH at Tenaya Lake  Sucess!

Incredible views and beautiful trail. It could probably be done with just a water filter. Two stream crossings to start, unnamed lake about half way, and two stream crossings after the lake.

Out and back from Tenaya Lake  Sucess!

I didn't have any issues with altitude, but this was hard for me for some reason. Lots of rough rock on the trail, wore out my feet using trail runners.

NE Ridge Hike  Sucess!

Fun day hike with MHW from Tenaya Lake up through magnificent forest. The final push along the ridge is enjoyable. Great position and views from the summit. Staring down the endless waves of granite into Tenaya Canyon and across at the enormous South Face of Mt. Watkins was mesmerizing.

Peaceful  Sucess!

A long but peaceful hike. Beautiful flowers. The knife ridge wasn't as bad as I was anticipating. A great hike!

From Tenaya Lake  Sucess!

Slept 2.5 hours in the car before starting out on the trail. Hiking before dawn kept the three of us cool and we were rewarded with a stunning sunrise to the east. We hung out at the summit of Clouds Rest for an hour and a half before hiking back to Tenaya Lake and taking a refreshing swim. Fantastic hike!

I can see for miles  Sucess!

It was a long, hot, dry hike from Tenaya Lake, but the view was well worth.
