Yosemite National Park: Sentinel Dome

We had a little trouble finding our campsite with all of the roadwork going on.  It was pretty dark by the time we set up camp and cooked our hot dogs.  The overnight temperatures were in the 40’s, but the kids and I enjoy the challenge of bundling up and keeping warm (D, not so much).

We were looking forward to having a hot breakfast from Degnan’s Deli, but alas, it was closed for remodeling.  Big sad face.  We ended up having to buy yogurt for breakfast and sandwiches for our lunch later at the village market, which was not too impressive.

We were able to see this early morning rainbow in Upper Yosemite Falls though, so that was cool.

Our first hike of the day was to Sentinel Dome, on the way to Glacier Point.  This ended up being our favorite hike of the trip. I believe it was 1.8 miles round trip.

The kids had fun scrambling up the rock to get to the top of the dome.

The winds were a lot gustier up on top.

This raven was making crazy sounds in trying to get our attention for some snacks, but we did not share.
