As many of you can imagine, after Wednesday’s brutal hike to the Half Dome, we spent most of Thursday relaxing. As soon as Captain America finished his conference, we drove down to the Sugar Pine Railroad to check it out but not before off-roading it up some random trails we discovered close by. As soon as we got to Sugar Pine, we hopped aboard the last train ride for the day, which took us on an hour long ride down 4 miles…of absolutely nothing. I’ll be perfectly honest, the ride itself was not the most exciting thing in the world. The conductor spoke of the history of the locomotives, which used to haul massive log trains back in the day, and that was the extent of it.

We hiked up the Sentintel Dome – a very easy 2mile roundtrip hike. At the top is a 360 degree view of Yosemite Valley, which was gorgeous. You could see El Capitan, Vernal and Nevada Falls, the Half Dome and so much more. This was like an extremely easy warm-up for what was to come the following day.
