Trip report: Yosemite in Snow

The big news is that the water lines and tank did not freeze -- we recirculated the hot water into the tank. (There is a link in the blog post on the crude method we used to do that.)

Anyway, if you like photos of Half Dome in the snow (and who doesn't?), please feel free to check out this blog post:

A week below freezing in Yosemite

And here is an "appetizer" shot -- this is Upper Yosemite Falls:

Nothing like Yosemite Valley in the snow. Thanks for sharing! Animals come out in force. I got some great coyote and bobcat photos a few years ago after a storm.

Great that Badger Pass is open. I miss that place. Small but a great place for a family to ski. Was barely open our last year in CA.

I am happy to hear that you had a great time there.

My buddy had his black and grey tanks freeze, but by spending a night in Fresno, where it was in the 50's, they thawed out and everything worked fine.
