Too few trips to the Valley! Our tiny “tick list” there is nothing to be proud of. This is in large part due to the hard logistics associated with any Valley trip (camping there is a pain in the ass!) and in (equal or greater) part due to the intimidation factor of the place… Hopefully can get a few more classics there at some point.
