A Hike to Mount Watkins in Yosemite

Photo Journal

A very high reward to low effort ratio, this hike is just a bit over 3 miles one way but offers tremendous views of Clouds Rest, Mt Hoffman, and Half Dome from atop the gentle dome of Mt Watkins. The views are massively expansive an there's a ton of noteworthy glaciation evidence.  Z and I found a rattlesnake in between several large glacial erratics that I was scanning with my phone to make 3D models. I had quite the startled jump, since it was the first time I've ever seen a rattlesnake above 8000'. Enjoy the photo album and 3d models for now.
