Yosemite National Park – Panorama Trail

Day 2 in Yosemite took us on a long one-way bus ride to Glacier Point and an even longer hike down the Panorama Trail.  From Glacier Point to the trail head is 8.4 miles (plus at least 2 miles back to our car) and -4,000 ft of elevation change.  Ryan tricked me into this hike, but I loved it.  Thankfully we were prepared for the 6 hour tour.

Isn’t this moon supposed to be over Half Dome?

Starting our hike to the Valley Floor.

Seriously,  I was so glad to be traveling DOWN these granite “stairs.”

This time we are going down the “Mist Trail” again.  Much more fun since we were prepared with waterproof camera gear.

Ryan bit it 2 seconds later.

And nice lighting for a self portrait.

After our day hike, all we wanted to do was eat and sleep.  So back to our comfy hotel we went.  All I said for the next day’s plan was “Please, Ryan, we can do anything but hiking.”  Guess what we did……
