Not much to say about this because we didn't stay as long as planned. We arrived around dusk and it was getting really cold. All of us were unprepared for cold weather so we decided to nix the two-day, 28-mile hike and instead do a quick 7-mile day hike up to Cathedral Lake the next morning and then split for Reno. Yosemite is a very cool place, with alpine meadows and high peaks. There was a lot of snow still on the ground, which makes sense considering we were around 8000-9000 feet elevation. The hike to Cathedral Lake was fun and not too hard, and once we reached it we were speechless. It is a large lake fed by melting snow from the peaks and cliffs surrounding it, right in the middle of an alpine meadow. Made a quick descent back to the car, and made our way to Reno.
