Year of Yosemite (YOY) – Day 122 (Looking Over the Edge at Taft Point)

A view from near the edge at Taft Point

El Capitan looms large when viewed from Taft Point

As I worked my way to the edge of a viewing area at Taft Point, I saw El Capitan in all if it’s glory. It was truly impressive. Look at all those nooks and crannies! The Yosemite Valley meadow stands out as a welcoming pathway.

Also visible is the Merced River meandering by on the left of the meadow areas. Look at the cliff on the left in the picture above. Did you notice…

A view from near the edge at Taft Point

In the enlarged portion of the photo above, there is one person near the left of the photo (circled in red) who is standing up and taking a picture and then there is a dangler under the yellow arrow. I am always astounded at how close to the edge some people feel comfortable.
