As I mentioned a few times, Yosemite is one of my favorite places in the world, so I couldn't resist and I went for a weekend hiking there. We (Carolina, Pavel and I) left on Friday evening and slept on road near Yosemite west entrance. On Saturday day we woke up early and drove to east entrance where we met with Shosh and Marina. The original plan was to hike up Mt. Dana the first day and go to see Cathedral lake the second day, but because the weather didn't look too good, we decided to switch the plans. Since there was a possibility to make a loop hike, we drove to Tenaya lake where we left one car and then went in one car to Tolumne meadows where the trail started. It was about 3.5 miles to the Cathedral lake. There we divided - Shosh and Marina went back the same way and Carolina, Pavel and I hiked the loop - total about 13 miles total. Later in the evening we stopped by Mono Lake to take pictures in the sunset. We spent the night at a motel.
The second day we got up early again so we could start our hike to Mt. Dana early - about 7.30. It was about 3 miles hike, but with the 3108 feet gain. Mt. Dana (13057 feet) is the second highest peak in Yosemite and in the higher parts there are not really real trail and one must be careful where to step! In the end we all made it! We spent some time on the top, took necessary photos and then hiked back down. We got back around 2 pm and then drove back home - avoiding all the traffic!

Jak uz jsem nekolikrat vzpominala, ze Yosemite jsou jednim z mych nejoblibenejsich mist na svete a tak jsem nemohla odolat a jela jsem tam na vikendove tury. Carolina, Pavel a ja jsme vyrazili v patek vecer a spali u cesty pobliz zpadniho vjezdu do Yosemite. V sobotu jsme vstali brzy a jeli k vychodnimu vjezdu do Yosemit kde jsem se potkali s Shosh a Marinou. Puvodni plan byl to vyslapnout na Mt. Dana prvni den a jit k jezeru Cathedral druhy den, ale protoze pocasi nevypadalo nejlepe, tak jsme se rozhodli plan prohodit. Protoze byla moznost udelat okruzni turu, tak jsme jeli k jezeru Tenaya, kde jsme nechali jedno auto a pak jeli druhym autem k Tolumne meadows, kde zacinal cesta. K jezeru Cathedral to bylo asi 5.6 km. Tam jsme se rozdelili. Marina a Shosh sli zpet tou samou cestou, Carolina, Pavel a ja jsem udelali okruzni turu - dohromady asi 21km. Pozdeji vecer jsme se jeste zastavili u Mono lake abycho udelali nekolik fotek pri zapadu slunce. Spali jsme v motelu.
Druhy den jsem vstali opet brzy, abychom mohli zacit nas vystup na horu Dana co nejdrive - asi v 7.30. Byl to asi 5 km dlouhy vystup ale s 947 metrovym prevysenim. Mt. Dana (3981 m) je druhou nejvyssi horou v Yosemitech a ve vyssich polohach neni vpodstate zadna cesta a clovek musi davat pozor kam slapnout! Nakonec jsme to vsichni zvladli! Zustli jsme chvili na vyrcholku, udelali nezbytne fotky a pak sesli zpet. Dole jsme byli kolem 2 odpoledne a pak jsme jeli domu a vyhnuli se velkym zacpam!
