As we arrived at Clark Point, the driving snowfall abates and the view opens up. From the left, here is the John Muir Trail, which we will take back to the Valley; an orientation sign; a glimpse of blue sky over the Valley; the opposite cliffs, taking up most of one's view, 90 degrees or more, with Half Dome just visible in the mist, another granite monolith, and Liberty Cap; and Nevada Falls, clearly visible to the right of Liberty Cap. The trail sign shows the distances we have come: Vernal Fall 0.6 miles (but a steep climb in snow and slippry trail, a real slog); Yosemite Valley 1.9 miles via Mist Trail. Foot traffic only. 12:12 am. Composite image.
