As of April 20th this year, I’ve been blogging for ten years! I can’t believe it’s been ten years already! I’m ready for another ten! Below is an image of the Yosemite High Country taken in October 2013 from the top of Sentinel Dome. To the left in the image is Half Dome. It’s a […]

Below are two images I took in Sequoia National Park in October 2022. One is of the Sentinel Tree and the other is of a quote from John Muir which is in the Giant Forest Museum next to the Sentinel Tree. Hope everyone is having a safe and happy Easter! Take care and enjoy the […]

In October I’m going to Yosemite and then decided to take a couple of days up in Sequoia National Park. I’ve wanted to do a little more hiking in the area since I was there last October. Lots of trails in the park look interesting, so definitely going to do some research on them. Below […]

Below is an image of Bridalveil Fall in Yosemite Valley in April 2022. I bet a lot more water is going to be flowing off the top of the fall this year, especially after all the snow the Sierra has been having. I’ve finished making my reservations for my fall trip. Looking forward to a […]

The image below was taken in April 2022 in Yosemite Valley at Valley View. The clearing storm clouds that rolled through the valley that late afternoon were great! Driving the valley loop and stopping at different turnouts that day was incredible. Always take advantage of clouds like that! California is expecting more rain this next […]

Yosemite is still closed! It certainly has been hit with a lot of snow! Below is an image I took in April 2022 of the cliffs above Tunnel View. I’m thinking the top of the cliffs are at about 7,000 feet along the valley rim. Looking forward to my fall trips! Still making reservations and […]

Yosemite National Park is currently closed due to the amount of snow that has pummeled the park. It’s insane how much snow is up there right now! I did however make my reservations for October 2023 for visiting the park! This time I’ll be staying in a different cabin since the cabin I normally stay […]

Yosemite National Park closed recently because of a severe storm that blew through California this weekend. The park plans to reopen around March 1st. I have to say it’s been pretty cold here in Southern California and very wet! I can only imagine how cold it is in Yosemite! Below are two images I took […]

I finally know where I’m going to go in the fall! It took a little while to work out the logistics, but I’ve made the first reservation for the trip and off to a solid start. So, drum roll please < quiet drum roll in the background>. I’ll be going to four new national parks […]

I thought a lot about trips this weekend. It seems Arches National Park is making me feel more inspired…and possibly Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. Also Bryce Canyon is appealing, even though I’ve been there not long ago. Below is an image of Bryce from my May 2021 visit. Still going to brainstorm […]
