Yosemite Part 3 - Half Dome

An hours drive from the valley will take you to a lookout called Glacier Point, 2400 metres above sea level. From here you get a wonderful view of the valley which was carved out by glaciers and water erosion.



Across from the valley is Half Dome. This giant stone half dome dominates the skyline from most places in the valley. You can actually hike up there over a few days and to reach the top there is a rope which will help you not fall off the edge :)



The friendly ranger gave us an interesting history of the lookout.



The sunset is incredible.



Just before the sunset. Its at places like these you feel very small in comparison to the world.
