With Walt and Barb we visited the recently re-opened Lower Yosemite Falls area (the waterfall is new and improved! ;-) ), and then walked up part of the Upper Yosemite Falls trail to where we had a good view up the upper fall and some of the cascades.
|
| Tamarack Falls/Cascade Creek from the south side of the valley, just before the Wawona Tunnel. |
 |
| Upper Yosemite Falls, which is 1430' tall - lots of veiling in the wind. |
 |
| Lower Yosemite Falls, 320' tall. |
 |
| Lower and upper Yosemite Falls - lots of water this year! |
 |
| Sentinel Falls and Sentinel Rock - the falls dry up quickly and it's unusual to see them. |
 |
| Half Dome from Columbia Point - 1 mile and 800' up the Yosemite Falls trail. |
 |
| Another half mile up the trail, it turns the corner and there's a terrific view of Upper Yosemite Falls. |
 |
| ...And a nice view of Half Dome, also. |

| Us and Yosemite Falls |
 |
| North Dome |
 |
| Royal Arch Cascade - another not-normally-seen waterfall, with North Dome barely visible at the top. |
