Smooth as a baby's behind...

Although the profile of the Sierra Nevada mountain range is largely rugged and jagged, Yosemite has several famous Domes that are more rounded and smooth. We hiked up North Dome. From this view, you can see its bald top.



To get there, we had to drop down this narrow, steep trail and climb back up. You can see how smooth the walls are. This trail is immediately below the foreground boulders from the first photo.



And once we hit the summit, we have great views of the smooth curve of Half Dome.

  1. Wow, spectacular! I would love to go hiking w/ you (although I am not sure I could keep up LOL). You always find the most beautiful places!

  2. I searched every photo couldn't see Humphrey Bogart anywhere, although that trail seems familiar. BTW Tammy's idea of hiking involves brooms, and she is a speed freak, threaten me about Passionfruit indeed.

  4. These are great photographs. I love the inclusion of a person on the trail. I also like the person looking away at the view. Makes you fell like you are standing beside him.

  5. You really have composed these so well to go beyond the 'postcard' view to feeling like one is there. So nice!
