Lembert Dome - 1

Lembert Dome (Side) - Yosemite  2012

So Mike had hiked to Elizabeth Lake and back and was back at the trailhead by noon. Too soon to head back to camp! So he decided to hike up to Lembert Dome, a massive granite dome just off the Tioga Road: it was in the immediate vicinity and it wasn't supposed to be that strenuous.

He parked on the highway and walked back to the trailhead and started on up, somehow forgetting to take his iPhone and also somehow forgetting to let anyone know his plans.
