John Muir once said that if you only have one day to spend in Yosemite National Park, that you should spend it hiking up Mt. Hoffman. As Hoffman is the geographic center of the park it affords amazing views in all directions.While i wouldn't necessarily take all of JM's advice, like climbing a tree in the middle of a storm, i think he was right on this one. It was a beautiful day with lots of time spent with a map identifying features & dreaming up future backcountry trips.

Napping on the western ridge. 
Instead of taking the trail back down, we scrambled down the western side adding a bit of adventure with lots of rock hopping down to beautiful alpine meadows.
