Done the Dome twice. Left Curry Village tents at sunup. Think we were up top about noonish & spent an hour. Much faster coming down. Swam in the Emerald Pool above Vernal Falls. Little nippy. Back in time for dinner @ Curry. Eighteen miles round trip. Carry lots of water, maybe a change of socks, blister meds for tenderfoots. Don't accidentally knock your keds in the river if you stop to cool your feet. It's a really long walk barefoot. Don't ask how I know.
