Below is an image I took in Death Valley National Park in March of 2022. I’d like to go back there in 2025 and see the views again. This may be one of my destinations next year. The image is of the salt flats in the Badwater Basin. Crater Lake is coming up soon as […]

I’ll be spending a couple of days at Sequoia National Park in October before I head up to Yosemite. I’m currently mapping out what trails to do. Last fall I hiked Crescent Meadows which is always a great hike to do. However, this time around, I probably won’t be hiking the meadow. Below is an […]

I decided to show more fall color this week as I did last week. This week is an image I took in October last year in Yosemite Valley along the south side drive of the valley loop. The bright yellow colors of the aspen and maple leaves were just beginning to really show when I […]

Below is an image of the fall color around Bear Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. Late September sure is beautiful in the Rockies! Getting ready for Crater Lake and Lassen Volcanic in October! Hopefully fires will be under control at that time and the skies will be blue. Have a great week everyone!

Below are three pictures I took while on top of Pothole Dome in Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite this last June. Watching the mountain peaks light up on any morning is incredible! I always try and watch it at least one morning while visiting Yosemite. Hope everyone in the U.S. is having a great Labor Day […]

Below is another image I took when returning to Tioga Pass after hiking to the backside of Pothole Dome in Yosemite in June this year. The jagged mountain in the center of the image is Cockscomb and the one to the right of it is Echo Peaks. Amazing sites when you see them in person. […]

Below is one of the last lakes I visited before leaving Mammoth Lakes and Yosemite in June. The lake is Lake George and it is definitely a favorite for people who like to go fishing. Early mornings at this lake are always a treat. Have a great week everyone!

Below is an image of McLeod Lake in Mammoth Lakes from my trip in June. From the Horseshoe Lake parking area, the hike to McLeod Lake is about .6 miles (little over half a mile). If you want to just get out and do a quick hike, this is definitely the hike to do! The […]

Mornings around Mammoth Lakes are always amazing! Below is an image of an early summer morning at Twin Lakes in Mammoth. It was a little breezy, but nice to take in the view. Speaking of lakes, I’m currently making plans on hikes I’m going to do around Crater Lake. There were a number of hikes […]

One thing that is really noticeable when up in the high country of Yosemite in spring and early summer is the abundance of wildflowers. I had never noticed it before when visiting Quaking Aspen Falls, but there is a bush that flowers next to the falls. Below is an image of the beautiful white flowers. […]
