A fellow dgrinner jogged my memory about these forgotten photos, and I would love to share them with you guys/girls.

They were taken with a little Canon S80 point and shoot, but the quality is still good. So for all you people out there still saving for a DSLR, don't stop shooting...it's not the camera that makes the shot great.

This was a February snow hike to Dewey Point. I don't recall the exact mileage, but it was decent. A friend and I created an igloo(maybe a bit to close the edge), and the rest of the hike group tented it. Some pretty cool scenery...hope you enjoy! :)

Excerpt from hike journal:
"We left the trailhead about 10PM, arriving at Dewey Point around 1AM. The snow hike featured substantial side-hills, and challenging elevation gains. After building the igloo and setting up camp, we went to sleep at roughly 3AM. After taking in the dramatic view of snow-draped Yosemite Valley we hike backed, arriving at the Badger Pass trailhead a little past noon."

    What a fun set of pictures! Looks pretty cold, however. :D
    Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap but memories are priceless.

    Ah, these photos bring back memories of my snowcamping trips at Dewey Points and Crocker Point. We hiked with snowshoes. Scenery and sunset were spectacular. It was also during my P&S days.

    You built a nice snow structure.

    Good gear and a cup of hot chocolate can overcome the cold. :D
