On Saturday, May 31st I went hiking to the Half Dome in Yosemite National Park. It was a 17-mile hike, and I knew that I was not able to go all the way to the top, so my goal was to reach half way, the Nevada Fall. There were 14 of us- my supervisor at work who also coaches a swim team in Tulare, some of his swimmers, 3 moms, Nathan-a youth from my church, and myself. We started around 7:00 in the morning. I was back to the car by 3:00, but the rest of the group that went all the way to Half Dome were not back until 9:30 at night.
It was a tiring hike, but the view was so scenic. We hiked through Mist Trail and we passed through Vernal Fall. Going down I took John Muir Trail.
Have you ever wondered what is at the top of a water fall? Take a look at the pictures below. The one on the left is a picture of Nevada Fall, and the one on right was taken from the top. More pictures in the “Photo Albums” and on Tule Nation Tritons’ website.
