This was in Apr 2018 when there were floods in Yosemite valley. I went to the park just a week after the floods, and was just amazed by the beautiful waterfalls and with water gushing through every rock in Yosemite!

Its not everyday you hike to Half Dome! I was atop the Half Dome the first time on Jun 13, 2018 and I plan to do it every year (as long as I physically can). It was probably the most difficult hike I've done till date but it was totally worth it, saw some of these beautiful spots along the way.

And we climbed Half Dome again in 2019 with a group of friends and celebrated Harshita's birthday on top of Half Dome! Fun times :)
