First rule of the wilderness: Pictures can never do it justice.
Second rule of the wilderness: Even so, you have to try.

Here are three quickies from the Yosemite trip.
A Look Into the Valley

If you take a look back at this post on Day 2, there’s a small lake in the upper right corner. This is Buena Vista Lake, and this is the Good View it’s named after. This view down into the Valley came at the end of the long haul up hill and made the slog worth it.

Buena Vista Lake

Here’s us leaving Buena Vista Lake, a pretty decent campsite near the crystal-clear lake.

Climbing Buena Vista Pass

After this climb up and over Buena Vista Pass, it was almost all down hill.

More as they become available. We’re in Chicago this weekend for the baptism of my nieces, Justine and Lauren, and I’ll be collecting the rest of the pictures at that time.
