Then enjoy two days traveling through the high country towards North Dome, offering views of Half Dome and the Yosemite Valley, then to Indian Rock and Snow Creek before heading back down to the valley floor along the Snow Creek Trail. Enjoy the impressive views of Tenaya Canyon, Clouds Rest and Mt. Watkins as you make the steep descent, arriving back in the Valley in time for lunch. Whew! A strenuous but fantastic adventure!
