Third visit to Yosemite and finally made it to the high country

Yosemite is so big and so diverse that we could never see it all in one visit.   We have been three times and still have areas to explore.   Our first visit was an overview with most of our time spent in the valley.    The second visit we stayed in the south so we spent most of our time between the south entrance and the valley.    This visit we didn't go to the valley at all.   We drove the Tioga Road from Lee Vining down the Big Oak Flat Road and then on to Hetch Hetchy for a hike around part of the shore of the reservoir.    The views were huge, with monstrous granite domes and cliffs.    Lots of high country lakes and streams.   The views from Olmsted Point were the highlight.   You could see Half Dome and down into the Valley.   Long, wonderful day.
