Trip toYosemite: Half Dome

I have mentioned before, in September myself and my brother will be travelling to California.

One part that I am the most excited about is out 3 day hike in Yosemite national park, We will be doing a 14 hour hike that goes to Half Dome.  You can see half Dome in the back ground on the picture to the left.

When you hike towards the face of half dome your in a more wooded nature trail, but as you come near the end of the hike you are faced with going up the side of Half Dome, you use a steel type ladder to help you up the face of the rock. (Shown to the right) (More pics)

The Hike is classed as extremely difficult, during the hike you gain nearly 5000 feet in elevation.
You hike takes you past beautiful waterfalls and hot valley's, then you come out tot he exposed rock of half Dome, if you are interested I would watch this video HERE,
I'm excited about the trip, more to come

293 days Left.....

Hello,

Last night my brother came over to watch Monday Night Football.

Also we went online and booked our tickets online for a flight into Bakersfield, Ca then to fly out of San Fran, Ca.

This year we tried to use our AeroPlan miles, and we tried alittle too late. So this year we decided to book as early as possible. So we booked our tickets this year for Sept 6th 2010 - Sept 13th 2010.

Our plans are to Fly into Bakersfield, Ca make our way to Yosemite Nathional Park, Hike for a couple days in the Park. After that head to San Franscio where we will see Alcatraz prison, go to Six Flags Theme Park, see other sights and then Watch a NFL football game, I'm hopeing the NFL season kicks off on Sept 12th again this year.

I can't wait, it's gonna be a blast.
