The hidden pools above Sunny Side Bench

Without technical rock climbing skills, these pools are unavailable to the masses. Yosemite has become a wilderness Disney Land in recent years, people packed shoulder to shoulder on the valley floor, or, worse, staying packed in their cars for hours in traffic, rather than enjoying the nature they drove so long to experience. But there are still places such as this were you may see only a single other party on any give day.
