Friday morning

Through the night, we could hear rain pounding down on the roof of our lodge. When we woke up, the mountains were covered with snow, and in good timing, it looked like the clouds were starting to disappear.

Originally, we wanted to do a different trail, but that was closed due to the snow, so we had to find an alternate hike, a 7 mile round trip hike to Vernal Falls, and then to Nevada Falls.

So with the weather clear, but probably about 40 degrees in the morning, 6 of us began our hike...
