July 2016 - (with Gemma) Taft Point is a viewpoint in Yosemite National Park, west of Glacier Point. It offers wide views of Yosemite Valley, Yosemite Falls, and El Capitan. However, the main attraction of Taft Point are the giant fissures in the mile high granite rock. The fissures are breaks and cracks in the mountain that drop directly down to the valley floor at some points. A great little walk today, gentle on Gemma who spent an agonising day in Mariposa hospital with kidney stones yesterday...long and frightening story!
