Looking back at the granite cliffs we've been descending

A stream we crossed on the Four Mile Trail

Three miles into the trail, the plants become more deciduous

    1. Yeah , the jackets are cool. Jonty got his at Arches National Park, and by Death Valley Logan had decided that he needed one too ;)
      Yosemite Park was amazing
