Sentinel Dome - Yosemite National Park

Yosemite has seen some snow showers and, since it's almost Thanksgiving, Sean and I were craving some cold temperatures.  We headed to Yosemite to hike Sentinel Dome.  Glacier Point Road is now closed past the Sentinel Dome parking area due to the snow, but we were able to reach the trailhead parking and head up to the dome.




The view was a bit obstructed due to the cloud cover, but it was quite beautiful seeing the cloud mass from one side and the clearer skies from the other.  Sentinel Dome has a beautiful 360 degree view, including views of Yosemite Valley and its waterfalls.





The one thing we couldn't get a view of the entire time we were standing at the top of the dome was Half Dome, which was unfortunate.  I guess that just provides an excuse to head back up in the spring when the snows melt.
