I wonder if I will ever get to go back there.

: yep your right not much to see but did you sit out for a night to see how far your rock you picked out moved or rock climbed? or took a million more pictures without u in it? though nice to see who takes the pictures and yours are not that shabby.
It is a lot closer to there than newleans, or Georgia, or Maine. and there are still places to see and take more pictures.

Thanks for the compliment. But I must give credit for the second photo (of me) to a fellow tourist... a much more photogenic tourist, I might add. I reciprocated by taking a picture of her, of course.


I might also add the complaint that they need to add some escalators to some of the sights; there's entirely too much work involved with the current trail system....

: rocks moved over a 12 hour period and they do move on there own and they do not have feet. I marked a dozen with chalk and some of them moved 5-6' or less depending on size. Same thing happens in Death Valley but in there they do it at night not much during daylight hours, My wife thought I was nuts to sit out there and watch. Much cooler at night in the fall.

The moving rocks on the Racetrack Playa in Death Valley are well known and the cause of their movement seems to have been determined:

But, other that the ones that fall off of the mountains, aka "Rockfalls,


Rock fall at Yosemite National Park could alter popular Half Dome climb - LA Times is a recent example.


I have never heard of any moving rocks in Yosemite, short of the imperceptible geologic movement. Do you have any links?
