Day 5: Panorama Dome hike.
We were exhausted after the previous day's excursion, so we opted for an easier hike, to Panorama Dome.
I adore SLR shots of wildflowers. Adore them. That's why there's an embarrassing amount of them in the file from this trip.
Looove them.
Panorama Dome lived up to its name. The curve of the earth was rather astounding.
I have this thing for lichen. I don't know what it is, something about the bright lime green in the middle of nature. Love it.
On top of the dome!
Mariposa lily. We saw these everywhere.
Daniel and I decided to take a short cut that turned out to be rather longer and more painful than we expected. But it was beautiful.
Following the deer paths through the scratchy manzanita, we came across an actual deer.
Deer!
The hill we conquered. We had more than our fair share of battle scars from the undergrowth. So much for a shortcut...
We ended the day at an overlook. If you look closely, you can see the cabin we stayed in, on the left.
