half dome



Recently I went on a day-long hike, nearly 9 miles each way.
It ends in a single rock at about 8800 feet.

The trail...




And when I reached the end. There was a huge crowd.





Seems now the hiking trails are more crowded than the shopping malls.
Welcome to the new health conscious generation.

Well the trip also made me realize how unhealthy i am now.
