Day 4 and Final Day of the JMT

Slept in till 6:20-luxury. Easier day today. Headed down from Clouds Rest, passed the Half Dome junction and Little Yosemite Valley. Took in Nevada Falls, which is now a lot smaller due to the extremely dry conditions. Was followed by a coyote for a brief spell as I commenced the long hot descent into the Valley. Soaked my feet in the Merced River and freshened up before meeting Katrina and Tom near Curry Village at 3pm.  Drove out to our accommodation at El Portal. A restaurant dinner and a real bed! Bliss. 7.5 hours and 17 km.
