The first morning in Yosemite Valley was amazing this year! It was Saturday, May 31st and the whole valley was alive and looking spectacular as usual. Below is an image of Upper and Lower Yosemite Falls together. There are lots of great spots along the trail to Lower Yosemite Falls from Yosemite Valley Lodge that […]

It was definitely the season to see waterfalls when I visited Yosemite in late May and early June this year. The first image below is a full view of Bridalveil Falls. The second image is of Lower Yosemite Falls and the third is of the runoff coming from Lower Yosemite Falls with a rainbow! I […]

I just got back from Mammoth and Yosemite! It was only for a few days, but it was great! Unfortunately a number of trails in the higher elevations were still pretty well covered in snow, but I was able to hike other trails. Below are two images from around Bridalveil Falls from the morning I […]

Below is an image of the cliffs and trees around Chilnualna Falls in Yosemite. The image was taken in October of 2016. There’s usually some nice fog in the area so I’m always trying to find different compositions in the fall. Tioga Pass is open! It opened today, Memorial Day. Looking forward to going up […]

Below is an image of the south fork of the Merced River. The image is not typical because it was taken in October of 2016 and the river usually doesn’t look like that in October. Usually there is a very small amount of water flowing through the river in fall. A rain storm came through […]

The image below was taken at Burney Falls in October of 2016. They just finished a new path around the falls in October 2024, so I want to go back and see what it looks like. I’ll have to plan a trip back to Lassen Volcanic and possibly Crater Lake in the future too. Have […]

Below is an image of Lassen Peak and Manzanita Lake taken in October 2016. I always like going to Lassen Volcanic National Park! This national park doesn’t get too busy and driving through the park is relaxing. Have a great week everyone!

I’ve only hiked to Lukens Lake once in the Yosemite high country. I may try to do it again either this early summer or in October. Below is an image I took of the lake in June of 2015. It’s probably one the easiest hikes to do in the park; I’m not sure why I’ve […]

Yosemite High Country In June Below is an image of the Dana Fork of the Tuolumne River in the Yosemite high country I took in June 2015. I hope I can go up to the area this year in June. It’ll be a random trip if I do it. I really do need to get […]

Below is an image of the peaks around the Mammoth Lakes area in Mammoth Lakes California. I took it in June of 2014 after hiking to the top of the Panorama Dome, which sits right behind the Twin Lakes Art Gallery. I also added the black and white version which I think looks pretty good. […]
