Climbing Shasta is a religious experience and I can totally see why every group from Squanto to New Age Meth Oracles think the mountain is inhabited by trans-dimensional spirit creatures. It just has a mystical aura, you can feel it, like a strange energy.

Headed out to Yosemite for the first time in late June. Waiting for the Half Dome lottery draw next week. Also planning on doing Clouds Rest and the 4 mile trail to Glacier Point and down Panorama.

Staying right there in the valley at Curry Village.

Any must-see / dos along the way? I'm renting a car from San Diego (im there for business the week prior) and driving north, then driving to San Fran (may swing south a bit and hit Santa Cruz / drive up Rt 1 North to san fran).
