- Woke up at 4:45 AM.
- Breakfast, and then out the door by 5:50 AM.
- Drove for 2+ hours to get to the trailhead.
- Meandered through a meadow and down a bike path for a little less than a mile.
- Hit the fairly grueling 4.5 miles of uphill switchbacks by 8:45 AM.
- Peaked at 11:45 AM and ate lunch while enjoying the view of Half Dome & Yosemite Falls.
- Then back down the switchbacks, through the meadow again, giving us one last incredible view of Yosemite Falls and finally relaxing into the car.
And just like that, Yosemite gets wiped off My Hiking Bucket List. :)
