Below are two images regarding what is left of the Cedar Breaks Lodge that was up at Cedar Breaks National Monument. I saw the plaque and cabin while hiking one of the trails along the top of the monument in September last year. I like little surprises like that! 🙂 Have a great week everyone!

I’m going back to Crater Lake in October. I’ll be up there three nights which will be better than just the two I did last time. I’m also going to add a couple of nights around Lassen Volcanic National Park on the way back. While I won’t be going back to the Redwoods, I still […]

I may be returning to Crater Lake National Park this year. I’d like to make it a multi park trip, but somehow I don’t think that’s going to happen. So far the only place that seems to be calling to me this year is Crater Lake…which may be a good thing. Below is an image […]

Below are three images I took during a late afternoon and evening hike in Sequoia National Park in October 2023. The area around the Wuksachi Lodge is really beautiful and I found a trail that went to a small wooden bridge over Clover Creek. It was nice to get out into a quiet area with […]

Below is an image I took in October 2023 in Sequoia National Park. I got up really early, so early it was still dark outside, and drove to the parking area for the Giant Forest Museum. From there I walked to the trailhead for the Big Trees Trail and walked counter clockwise around the trail. […]

On my last trip to Yosemite in October 2023, I spent two nights in Sequoia National Park before returning home. I first went to Kings Canyon National Park through the Big Stump entrance station off of HWY 180 and spent a little time around the Grant Grove Village. Since I had never been up to […]

I like returning to Siesta Lake annually when I go to the Yosemite high country in October. The lake can have different looks throughout the year, but fall seems to be the most impressive. The reds from the blueberry bushes really bring a nice color palette to the area. Below is an image I took […]

Fall sunrises in the Yosemite high country is always great! Below is an image I took in October 2023 along the Dana Fork of the Tuolumne River. I usually make at least one morning hike in that area. So, guess what? I’m stuck! I’m stuck and don’t know where to go this year for a […]

Now that I’ve posted images from my Rocky Mountain road trip, I’ll be posting images from Yosemite and Sequoia in the blog. Below is an image from Yosemite Valley. The National Park Service and local fire fighters were doing control burns in the valley, which made for some really different and ethereal photo opportunities. The […]

In 2023 the National Park Service celebrated the 100th anniversary of Bryce Canyon National Park. With that in mind, I spent one night at the Lodge at Bryce Canyon. Below are two images I took the next morning in Bryce Canyon. I hope everyone had a great New Year and that 2024 is an amazing […]
