Description

After walking up and down 8,000 vertical feet over 15 miles on the Four Mile Trail, the Panorama Trail and the Mist Trail the day before, a friend and I enjoyed a swim and a soak for sore muscles in the Merced River at the wooden footbridge on the valley floor. The colors of the water and the reflections of the sky looked like translucent hard candy and the swim was just as sweet. You can see more photos from this trip to Yosemite and other U.
