Oh I think that's Sentinel Dome right there. We gotta go up that.

Hi! We're Crystal and Candy of Travel Pockets. We're sisters who are half American and half Japanese

and we love to travel the world in style.

We grew up as military brats so we're used to moving from place to place.

We post videos weekly and would love for you to subscribe to our channel.

Follow us along on all of our adventures!

Candy's making our way up to Glacier Point now.

From Yosemite West, it's about a 35-minute drive going up the mountain.

I guess we're - Yosemite West is at 6,000 feet?

I just saw a sign that said 6,000 - unless if that sign was meant for somewhere else which would be weird.

Well that's really hard to tell where we're going.

Haha, we'll have to guess. Hopefully we don't get lost.

But I believe it's a loop and this way is Sentinel Dome

the other way is Taft but you can go in a loop

so I wanna go to Sentinel and then make it to Taft for sunset.

because I've seen pictures and it looks GORGEOUS.

And we missed the sunset yesterday and it looked gorgeous. I saw the pink and purples sky and I'm like,

Yeah because I get serious FOMO with that stuff

but hopefully tonight we'll be able to see a great sunset.

and Taft Point is 1.1 miles the other way.

So, starting at 4:51 and it's 80 degrees right now

Let's see how long it takes to get to Sentinel Dome.

I was just saying, we're starting at 4:50 and it's 80 degrees right now.

How was the bathroom? It was gross? Hahaha

Yeah there's like one bathroom like an outhouse type

but at least they have one if you really need to go.

These guys drank like 4 beers before this hike. We'll see how well they do.

These are a little challenging - these rocks here.

Oh, this is video? I thought we were taking a picture.

Do you think it's harder than the last hike?

Yeah, we're going up hill and stepping over these big rocks

So far, we're making a steady incline. It's not too steep but moderate level.

But that little thingy right there got up on us quick.  The dome. Yeah.

Ok so this does say Sentinel Dome right here

Alright so it says Sentinel Dome is 0.2 miles.

We were at the base earlier and I think now we're going towards the top of the dome.

It is getting a little bit more strenuous.

I don't know the degrees right now but it did get a little bit cooler too.

It did get cooler but it feels good because we're sweating now.

Yeah, no coat. The breeze is nice. It's in the shade so that's great.

But it's definitely - before it was more of a gradual incline now it's

And definitely better to have hiking shoes.  I think it'll be a little bit slippery if you have tennis shoes.

I mean it's doable but if you want more of a better grip, I think it's better to get...

Ok, so you CAN do a loop but it's longer. So it's 2.8 miles this way.

And if we go back the way we came from, it's 2.1.

I think that's why I was confused because I think some people did do the loop and other people didn't.

Yeah, as you can tell, I'm out of breath right now because there was kind of an incline there.

Yeah and we're both carrying heavy book bags with us.

This is the challenging part - going up the dome.

I feel like the first part was worse with all those big rocks.

Just a little. But it wasn't terrible. It wasn't as uh...

I was fearing this last part but it actually wasn't that bad at all.
