Glen and Bessie Hyde's story is well known in river circles . . . and despite their errors, they seem to be cut a lot of slack from a community often quite harsh in its judgment of mistakes. I think that slack-cutting is for the reasons you imply, Alexandra—they had such a spirit of pure adventure. It's most likely, of course, that they were both thrown out and drowned, but hey, maybe it was aliens. . . . I loved the story of the couple who saw so many parks from their new Buicks . . . and her last sad trip alone. Sigh.

There are no words to describe it. And I only saw the valley.
I tend to forget the magnitude of these places; just how profoundly they affect me, until I get there and am once again just overwhelmed.

Yes, but make it spring if you want to see the waterfalls. I went in early November that year for three days. Most of the falls were mere trickles. But the rock faces were as majestic as they could possibly be. And watching people wake up in their suspended tents (high on the face of El Capitan) before their 2nd day of climbing was pretty intense, too.

Exactly what the one commentator said when he saw a woman just standing in the meadow, speechless. Just going, "Oh. Oh my" over and over.
