Serene and I visited Yosemite National Park in May and June 2004. We did a number of hikes including to Half Dome, Upper Yosemite Falls, Cathedral Lakes, and Gaylor Lakes.

Half Dome | Total images: 32

This was Serene's first time up Half Dome and my second. It was distinctly easier my second time because the trail conditions were much better.

Glacier Point | Total images: 7

The views from Glacier Point are better than those from Half Dome.

Yosemite Valley | Total images: 4

Various lookouts near and along the road in the valley.

Tuolumne Meadows | Total images: 6

Various lookouts along Tuolumne Meadows.

Lembert Dome and Dog Lake | Total images: 11

Lembert Dome is fairly interesting but I'd give Dog Lake a pass.

Cathedral Lakes. | Total images: 7

This hike is pretty boring and interminable but the lake is nice. Also, the meadows near the lake are mosquito infested.

Gaylor Lakes | Total images: 17

I like this set of lakes the best in the meadows. A fairly easy hike with spectacular views.

Yosemite Falls | Total images: 12

Hiking up the upper Yosemite Falls trail was relatively painless after descending from the higher elevations in the meadows.

Yosemite Point | Total images: 9

Yosemite Point is just a little over a mile away from the top of upper Yosemite Falls.
