Spring Tradition

When the Glacier Point road opens we head for the Panorama Trail to Nevada Fall or Ostrander Lake. I settled down with a lunch and novel at 4.2 miles to wait while my hiking buddies covered 6 miles and went to Nevada Fall. And if my physical therapists Joy and Suzi are reading this, I didn’t carry a heavy pack, twist, bend over or jump off logs. Honest. And I stretched afterward.

Just another world class view. I never get tired of it after 60 years of seeing this panorama since the age of 16
