Yosemite c

After a couple days in Yosemite Valley, we went in the afternoon to Glacier Point. We went in the afternoon so we would be there for the sunset.  Ripley came with us, since we would be in areas he was allowed. This ride had some of the most amazing views.

Ripley was ecstatic to be going to Yosemite

the only thing missing is Yosemite Falls from Tunnel View

the amazing view from Glacier Point.  be sure to view it for screen for the most impressive look

do you recognize this well known shape? It is Half Dome
