Heading down, Yosemite
Tenaya Canyon. The awesome granite apron we're on is about halfway between Tenaya Lake and Pywiack Cascade. You need climbing expertise to pass this cascade so you can continue down the canyon to Yosemite Valley. Half Dome in the distance; northern ramparts of Clouds Rest in middle, with the summit peeking out near the top center. Tenaya Creek isn't flowing here (see also a "Plunge Pool" shot) but when it does, it runs in the lowest part of the apron, such as where the pools are.
