Half Dome Hike
Yesterday I hiked Half Dome for the first time with a group of friends. Tough day hike, but well worth it. In some ways I would have liked to have taken my SLR, but I didn't want to carry the extra weight the entire way. A few here, with the full story on my blog www.patrickpike.com
1. Sun rise in the middle of Little Yosemite Valley

2. Getting to the cables early in the morning to escape the crowds
