Half Dome


This is a picture of Half Dome in Yosemite. This is from the back side from a viewpoint called Olmstead. It's an incredible site!

Tenaya Lake in Yosemite Park



Tenaya Lake at Yosemite. We paddled right into the snow drifts. The campground was under snow and water. We ventured into the crevases of the snow and slow moving river that feeds into this lake. It was about 54 degrees when we got on the lake...burrrr.

Frozen Lake Tioga Pass


This is Tioga Lake at Yosemite east end; unbelievable still frozen in June! We did not paddle this lake...maybe by August?

Twin Lakes



This is a very large waterfall flowing into Twin Lakes at Mammoth Lakes area. Snow was abundant and the campground was still under water and large snow drifts.

Silver Lake

Another beautiful view. There is a huge waterfall in the middle of the picture called Horseshoe Falls, you could hear the roar of the water from the lake. Nice!

June Lake


This is June Lake, we camped nearby and paddled the entire lake. This is a great view from morning with the reflection of snow packed mountain. All we can say repeatedly is "WOW".

Convict Lake


This lake is close to Mammoth Lakes, we visited and saw the overflowing creek that feeds this lake.
