Yosemite Stoke/Photo Thread
I've recently rediscovered what an all-around incredible place Yosemite is. Whether car camping, backpacking, or climbing, it's just fantastic.
Anyhow, please post your Yosemite photos and stories here.
I'll start with some photos from my recent trip . . . . (Not sure if the photos are too big for this format. They're copied from The Stash, which previously worked for me.)
The kids reach Glacier Point, the end of the Pohono Trail if you start from the bottom (Tunnel View).

Sometimes you're riding a bike around and Yosemite hits you with scenes like this. By sometimes, I mean pretty much all the time.

Crocker Point on the Pohono Trail. You can see the recent rockfall area on El Cap pretty clearly.

Eichorn Pinnacle. I'm still a gumby, but it's hard to go to Yosemite and not want to learn to aid climb.

I can't wait to go back!
