Another angle of our Valley hut - only $76 per night. No free wi-fi. No HBO. No color tv.
But it did have some quality nature from our backyard bridge.
We grab a trail map from the Visitor's Center and go for a ride.
We go to Mirror Lake first. No Lake. No mirror. But some quality boulders to climb and conquer.
Next, we ride to Vernal Fall. You know it's a serious trail when you see folks like this.
Count these rocks!
Another serious hiker. To the left, not right.
Vernal is usually five times wider, but it's late in the season.
We go off road to for a closer look.
Still going up. 1200-feet up.
Rainbows and leprechauns can be found here.
If there were monks in Yosemite, they would hangout on the top of this beast of a staircase.
Boman takes time to reflect and wash away his sins at the top of the fall.
We see Nevada Falls in the distance and decide to investigate.
The river is almost completely dried up, so we go on a major off-road-boulder-climbing-free-for-all.
Fun-Zone.
As our excitement grows, so do the size of the boulders.
We get to the base and hangout with a couple unicorns (not shown).
Boman meditates.
A move from the Michael Jackson video, Thriller.
Boman expanding.
Boman contracting.
After the five-mile arduous death climb, Boman jumps in some emerald green fun zone to cool off.
We soar like bald eagles to our new-found campsite, Camp 4.
Camp 4 is an outdoor hostel for campers. It's $5 per night and most of the people we meet are rock climbers. Meet Mason. He's been camping here for almost a month and has climbed El Capitan, a 3,000 foot vertical cliff, five times. He's also quite fond of our Thundercats sword.
It protects us from those pesky bears and park rangers.

Holy Shit-that climb is worth an enormous grid or panorama print.
Please
Thundercats! HO!
