Yosemite Trip: Day 3
After sleeping in a little this morning, we enjoyed another tasty breakfast at the YL cafeteria. Then we spent the morning walking around Yosemite Village. After that, we took a neato open-air tram tour of the Valley.
Probably the coolest thing we saw during the tram tour was a few climbers on the face of El Capitan. El Capitan is the largest exposed granite face in the world. It shoots up about 3500 feet above the valley floor. Elite climbers from all around the world travel to Yosemite to spend a couple of weeks practicing chin-ups on this bad boy. If you look closely in this picture, you can see a few of these guys.
We were also able to get a better view of the mountain we hiked up yesterday. Yesterday morning, we started at the bottom left corner of this picture and hiked along a path up the wall to the top of the granite cliff on the right. In this picture, you can see Eagle Peak, which was our final destination yesterday.

After a few band-aids, some Advil liqui-gels, and a good rest day, we might just be ready to summit Half Dome tomorrow.
