I did go to Yosemite for a couple day hikes this weekend. I'm lucky to live close enough (and to have friends with houses 1 1/2 hours away) to be able to do day trips to Yosemite.
They were doing a prescribed burn in the Mariposa Grove when we were in there Friday. If you look closely to the right of the base of the large tree, there are 2 firefighters. This gives you perspective on just how big, the Giant Sequoias really are.
This is a view of Half Dome from near Glacier Point. Where I was standing to take the photo was over 7000’ above sea level, and, Half Dome is over 8000’. (If I recall correctly).
This has El Capitan in the front on the left and Half Dome at the center in the back.
Hope you enjoy my photos
