View of Half Dome from North Dome with Olmstead Point in the distant background. This direct view of Half Dome and the ample plateau for for rest and reflection is the gift earned from the strenuous Snow Creek Trail. A trail with a steep and numerous switchbacks and just as many view of all the treasured and revered Yosemite landmarks.  With binoculars you can see aspiring hikers climb the cables to Half Dome’s summit. The cloud formations also hint at incoming weather and serve as advisory to the kind of weather making the summit to Half Dome very dangerous.  Lightening strikes the Half Dome every month and you don’t want to get caught climbing the steel cables under these weather conditions. 

If climbing or hiking is not your thing, turn up the sound and take in Yosemite views virtually.

Along the trail you will notice these round impressions embedded in the rock.  The impressions were used as  pounding rock by the Miwok people to crush, pound and grind acorns. This photo taken along the Snow Creek trail.
