Sentinel Dome in Yosemite

In 1999, Brian Illari visited me in California and I took him to Yosemite for some October hiking. While there, we parked on the Glacier Point Road and climbed to Sentinel Dome where we were rewarded with spectacular views of Half Dome and Little Yosemite Valley. We could also see that a storm was approaching. Nevertheless, we continued on the trail down to Glacier Point. On the return, we were caught in a blizzard on the way to Taft Point and found ourselves lost in a blizzard in the forest high above Yosemite Valley. To read the story of the hike, and view some images from that adventure on the trail, follow the link below.
