Yosemite reminds me a lot of Banff. I know that's not something I'm supposed to say about a place, but it really does. They're both glacier carved valleys protected by tireless enthusiasts and over run by tourists - myself included. The park was remarkably busy for this time of year.
No Half Dome, but we do get a nice view of El Capitan.
El Capitan is a rock face people climb when they're insane. The most insane people somehow climb it in two hours, 19 minutes. I think these people may actually be Spider-man.

When we got there, it was crawling with tourists. Absolutely lousy with them. (Myself/my group included). We went around the loop trail and after the falls there was almost no one.
As we drove on, I amazed our guide by knowing what a glacial erratic is. Apparently in 500 guests he's had, not one has known what a glacial erratic is.
Next: Sequoia? I hardly knew ah! (I'm tired and it's funny in my head.)
