Yosemite Falls Moonbow - a photo on Flickriver

I intentionally got a late start hiking up the Yosemite Falls trail. Because it was Memorial Day weekend, the line of cars at the Yosemite entrance station was two hours long. I made it to the hiking permit station just before they closed and picked up my permit. I started the hike but took a long break at Columbia Rock to photograph sunset.
