. Hard to describe the feeling when seeing this view for the first time. Yosemite in all its glory. I just wanted to breath it all in. . This is a very popular spot for sunset and in early spring you can see the milky way raising over the half dome on a clear moonless night sky.

. This is the lowest point in North America at about 120' below sea level, it is also the hottest, be prepared. . To reach the salt flats, one has to walk about 200 yards on a flat surface, though those feel like the longest 200 yds ever, the walk is worth it though, specially for sunset.
