YNP: El Capitan from Above

September 19th, 2005

El Capitan/North Dome is directly to the left of Half Dome. From the valley floor you wouldn’t have any idea that those 2 additional domes even exist. This was taken at or around Glacier Point. It seems so remote, but unfortunately there’s a giant gift shop not 50 yards from where we were standing. Even more unfortunately we had just been at the gift shop and had eaten ice-cream cones before heading to the point, just like all the rest. But we were tired. And hot. That’s the excuse i’m going with anyway.
