Yosemite Hiking Trip - May, 2008


I joined friends Nick, Corey, and Bruce for a 3-day hiking trip in Yosemite National Park this May.  We flew into Mariposa Airport and then drove into the park.  We stayed in a canvas tent in Curry Village, and hiked to Yosemite Falls (video) on the first full day and Nevada Falls the second day.
