Been on top of that rock by way of the cables. Hella hike.

mountainscalling.me•42 days ago

Heck yeah! Im thinking of hiking to the base of the cables today. Im getting saddled up here in the parking lot. We’ll see how far I make it…def at least to Nevada Fall. We’ll see how I feel once I reach there and time of day, etc 🫡🏞️💙

Sounds like a great day

Makes me think of my stay there, 10 years ago now.

Time for Canadians who travel to America, particularly snowbirds, to boycott America!...they are no longer good neighbours!

Beautiful!

Is there snow there now ? I live about an hour from Yosemite but I haven’t been up recently .

mountainscalling.me•42 days ago

No snow in the valley and no snow all the way up trail to Yosemite Falls / Nevada Falls. Just patches of ice near the top of both trails. If your looking for dry trails to hike, now is a good time to visit! 🫡💙🏞️

I see , was hoping for snow already , thank you !

mountainscalling.me•42 days ago

Best way to keep tabs on conditions is via the webcams on Yosemite NPS site or Yosemite Conservancy. 👍🫡💙🏞️

Even Tissiack is crying today…. Such a sad chapter in our history begins today. But keep hope alive. “Climb the mountains and get their good tidings…”

Thank you for all the stunning views you share !

🥹 thank you 🙏… I now go into the woods to lose my mind and find my soul 🏞️

Buddy I checked your post but your posts seem like a mistake. If you want I can show you my art collections which are based not your work

i'm not sure that a stunning sunset in yosemite is a fitting tribute to dr. king's message. his work was about fighting for equality and social justice, not just appreciating natural beauty.

mountainscalling.me•42 days ago

Have you heard the news what is happening today? Injustice and oppression will be holding the highest office in this land.

The picture is a metaphor for hope and a play on the mountain and stone. Whats the problem?

Your post was attracting some LLM chatbots probably because of Dr. King's quote. If you check their profiles you'll see they're filled with contrarian replies but no original posts. Block and move on is the best way to deal with them.

Report this I noticed this was an AI bot as well. Reported and blocked as other.

mountainscalling.me•42 days ago

Thank you! Hid and reported 🫡

mountainscalling.me•42 days ago

Thanks for the heads up! I was just doing breakfast in my van here in Yosemite and replying not examining the profile of the person. 🫡🫡🫡 hiding them now

ciociofarfalla.bsky.social•42 days ago

You're welcome! They're really out in force today, popping up everywhere. Enjoy your day in beautiful Yosemite and pay them no attention. :)

mountainscalling.me•42 days ago

Will do! Thanks 🙏 🏞️💙✊
