Classic U Shaped valley!

This was between Happy Isles and Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite. This guy comes walking up the trail behind us. At first I thought it was someone's dog. Then he just goes around us and continues up the trail.

John Muir Trail

In any group I am always the least fit. I'm amazed that I could stand up to take this picture.
