  • Photo of the Day: Bridalveil Falls Slow by BigFrank

    There’s a bunch of people that thought this photo of Big Frank’s should have been deleted or much worse, never made, but I beg to differ. I really like the contrasts and tones of the shot. That’s why I chose it to be Photo of the Day. Very cool Frank. Nicely done. Photo by Big…

  • Photo of the Day: Hikers and Nevada Fall in Yosemite National Park by Miguel Vieira

    I chose today’s Photo of the Day not for overwhelming scenic beauty but for what it shows us. The hike to the top of Nevada Fall is long and exposed. If you’re planning on going up ANY trail in the park but especially the Mist Trail or the trail to the top of Half Dome,…

Very…

  • Video – swiftwater rescue training

    I can’t go anywhere lately without running into the rescue people. This one was fun to watch because they’re IN the river — the ice cold snow-melt Merced near the Happy Isles bridge.
