Made the long hot climb to the top of Clouds Rest, overlooking Half Dome and Yosemite Valley beyond. Camped just below the top at about 10,000' and caught the moon rise over the high Sierra. A fitting end to the day. 8.5 hours and 21km.

Day 3 of the JMT
The fire was still burning as I left Cathedral Lakes in the shadow of Cathedral Peak. Crossed Cathedral Pass and onto Sunrise Lakes for lunch. More magnificent granite and towering conifers. I can see why the Scotsman John Muir fell in love with this place and lobbied for it to be a national park a 125 years ago.
