A recovery day on the way to San Francisco. Absolutely bonkers seeing the amount of flooding in the park and pouring water in the falls. A lot of old-timers seemed to agree that this year was exceptional with the amount of snowfall that landed in the Sierra. Apologies for the repeat photos, still in awe at the novelty of it all.

Only had a day so I went up Yosemite Falls and around Lost Arrow Spire, then another hike to check out Nevada Falls, and then Mirror Lake. Glacier Point was closed this season for construction and higher up the valley still had a ton of snow on trail so I was quite limited where I could roam.

The classic tunnel view, never gets old

Bridalveil Falls (how many waterfalls are named that in America lol) against the Cathedral Rocks

More flooding

Yosemite Falls in the back

Closer up

---

Even closer - man that thing was powerful

---

Yosemite Valley from the top of Yosemite Falls. Probably really tough getting up to Glacier Point given that the road was closed and Four Mile Trail was probably still snowed over. Peep the snow on top of Sentinel Dome.

---

And the snow still lingering on Half Dome

---

Far peaks of the Western Sierra

Climber on Lost Arrow Spire

Half Dome with Royal Arches in front now

---

Quite busy at Lower Yosemite Falls

---

Merced River raging along the Mist Trail

---

Vernal Falls - I could not clean the camera lens faster than it would get sprayed

---

Getting SOAKED on these steps

---

Just gotta deal with being wet the rest of the day

---

---

Mount Broderick with Half Dome obscured in the back

---

Liberty Cap

---

More soaking getting up to Nevada Falls

---

Powerful

---

One of many sections of flat trail that were completely flooded

---

Another angle of Liberty Cap - I did hear a bit of thunder today

Half Dome, Liberty Cap, and Nevada Falls

Lots more flooding seen around the park in the bus

El Cap climber dead center if you squint

Notes

• This was probably ~22 miles and ~6800 feet of vertical gain in a little under 8 hours.
• Man always a good time coming back to the valley and reminiscing all of the good times.
