     If you somehow missed the first page of my Half Dome experience where I go into detail about the hike itself, go back to Half Dome page 1. This page simply contains more pictures, sparsely captioned.

Becca poses at the trailhead. She looks goofy, but it's 6 a.m. so I guess it's understandable.

Yosemite Falls as seen from the John Muir Trail.

Vernal Falls from the bridge below.

Yosemite. Lots of granite. Yeah.

Water dripping down a big rock wall along the John Muir Trail.

Crossing a mini-river on the trail.

The back of Half Dome, about 5.5 miles still left to go.

Approaching Nevada Falls a little before 9:00 a.m.

Becca arrives at the top of Nevada Falls about 10 minutes later.

The warning sign at the top of Nevada Falls. Don't die!!

One of the few non-rocky portions of the trail.

Another view of Half Dome from the side. About 2.5 miles left to go.

A digitally zoomed picture of the side of Half Dome. Look closely and you can see people (dots) going up the cables, which run up the ~45 degree light streak up the side.

A view near the tree line.

Wow, I'm really high up.

Looking out across the Sierra Nevadas.

Yet another warning sign, this time about lightning strikes.

Looking eastward into the Yosemite high country.

My first good look at the cables. They look even steeper in person.

View of Yosemite Valley from the top of Half Dome.

Snow!

Looking eastward from the top.

Snowball fight!

Becca on the granite steps looking happy that we're now going down.

Nevada Falls from the up close and personal Mist Trail.

Becca resting. At least she's smiling!

Water rushing over the top of Vernal Falls. View from the Mist Trail.

More of Vernal Falls.

Becca on the wet Mist Trail stairs next to Vernal Falls.

Pretty rainbow.
