Columbia Rock

For the next part of the day, we hiked up to Columbia Rock on the Upper Yosemite Falls Trail.

Winter hike time!

Rest along the way.

Surprise.

A nice little rock.

On the trail.

At Columbia Rock.

 Nice view.

Hello!

 Climbing rocks.

 The Valley.

Daddio.

With the fam.

 More fun in the rocks.

Too many cute shots.

 Not really sure what is happening here.

Yosemite Bound

We decided to see what Yosemite was like in the winter...here we go!

 Road trip crew!

After many hours of driving, we arrived at this cute house very close to the valley.

It's a pretty sweet spot.

The next morning, we adventured into the valley.

 Crazy crew.

The view from the tunnel.

It's a little popular.

Maya doing what the crowd is doing.

El Capitan on the left, Half Dome in the center.

Obligatory photos.

 

We have a new appreciation for El Capitan after watching "Free Solo."

Hiking to the base of Yosemite Falls.

Wow!

Dexter the explorer.

A picture of taking the picture.

Tall trees!

Inside the Ahwahnee Hotel (currently called the Majestic). Very cool old hotel.

Beautiful old rooms.

Does this remind you of anything?
