Shadow from the top
The was the last morning of my Yosemite backpacking trip and I camped right under Clouds Rest the night before. In the morning, I went back to this place, which is nearly 10000 feet in elevation. I can see all the places I have been to in Yosemite over the years from this location and the landmark Half Dome is right below me as well. As the sun rose, the shadow of Clouds Rest started to form on the valley floor with the top of Half Dome lit by the golden light. I shared this moment with my friend and a couple of other hikers who must have started really early to get here. I would say the view is definitely worth it!
