El Capitan

 

A wonderful hiking experience, on the way to Halfdome

 

A deer peacefully grazing at a meadow below El Capitan

 

After settling in at a campsite, I noticed the sunset painting Halfdome orange and rushed around to find a parking space to grab these shots, one with each lens I had, before the show was over

 

A rest area where the John Muir trail connects to the Halfdome Trail
Merced River

 

Froze this Jay, rushing away from my approach

 

 

Vernal Fall
Nevada Fall

 

 

There was a fire nearby that closed part of HWY 120 for some time. Helos were doing water drops to help the ground crews

 

Getting close enough to make out the climbers with the telephoto lens
