Destination:Glacier Point

Description:
We had a half of a day, so David-my brother, Sherri and I went on a day trip up to Glacier Point. First we stopped at Washburn Point and looked east ward. Then on to Glacier Point. Probably between the two places we were there about an hour and a half. Then coming back, we stopped at a turnout which gave us a view of the Merced River, Cascade Creel and Henness Ridge. That sparked the idea of taking the short mile and a half walk to Henness Ridge and back. After that it is time to go home, but not before stopping to take pictures of dogwoods and then Alder Creek.
