Stormy Yosemite

Stormy Yosemite

When we got back to the campsite after hiking Nevada Falls we were pretty wet, hungry, and frozen (Sammi had turned into an ice-cube). To warm up we decided to go to Curry Village and get some coffee, hot-chocolate, and just roam around the store and pick up some souvenirs. Zack offered to drive (which I thought was silly) but his car was going to be super warm and Sammi needed to thaw, so I took him up on his offer. Unfortunately, there was a HUGE line of traffic from people trying to leave early on Saturday evening. I think we sat in line for about 30 minutes just trying to move the 0.2miles to Curry Village. At one point I got sick of waiting in the car so I got out, took my camera, and decided to see if maybe everything was stopped because of a bear (there was no bear, it was just a lot of traffic).

As I was walking along the road just outside of the Pines campground and just next to Curry Village, I looked up and saw some amazing clouds over Yosemite Falls. They made just enough of an opening for Yosemite Falls to peak through it. I immediately put my camera to my eye and snapped away
