Yosemite: Valley, More Glacier Point, Happy Isles

The next day we carried on...me hiking from the Valley up to Glacier Point (4.6 miles, 3,200 feet) and back, Vicki taking the Valley Shuttles to visit exhibits, museums, visitor center, and shops. We met up again at 4PM to do a hike to one of our favorite places, Happy Isles.
Classic view of the lower Valley, dominated by El Capitan















At Curry Village, the Yosemite Mountaineering School, where I was a student for 
week in 1972 (classes were up at Tuolomne Meadows)
















Same T-shirt as in 1972



















Half Dome, classic view















On my hike, another view of Yosemite Falls
