Yosemite: Sentinel Dome Hike

Image
Wow, I can't believe this last Yosemite post has been sitting in my draft folder for 2.5 months!  This is also my very last post about our honeymoon to California, which was, at this point, over 1.5 years ago.  Talk about time flying by quickly!  Without further ado.... On our second day in Yosemite we chose to hike a few miles farther than on our first day--about eight or nine miles.  I really wish I could remember where we started the hike (I'm trying to dig back in my memory nearly 1.5 years ago now!), but the highlight of the hike was the Sentinel Dome portion.  Before you get to the top you get to hike along trails that have these amazing pine trees called Jeffrey Pines...and they literally smell like vanilla!  Talk about the little things, but I just thought that was so cool! Anway, the hike to Sentinel Dome is well known for having the most famous Jeffrey Pine of them all, or what's known as the Ansel Adams tree (see his photo )....
