Half Dome after receiving another dusting of snow.

An Ahwahneechee Tale of Half Dome

Long ago, two travelers, Tissiak and her husband, Tokoyee, fought with each other.
He became so angry that he began to beat her; enraged, she hurled her basket of acorns
at him. As they stood facing each other, they were turned to stone for their wickedness.
The acorn basket (Basket Dome) lies upturned beside Tokoyee (North Dome)
and the rock face of Tissiak (Half Dome) is stained with her tears.
