  • Is that…Half Dome?

    Paul Davis sent me this photo proving that you don’t have to drive way out in the country to see Half Dome from the Central Valley, in fact, he took this shot at Highway 99 and Fulkerth Road in Turlock, California. If you click the photo you’ll see a larger (not as large as the…

  • Photo of the Day: Stormy Tunnel View by Chuck Cagara

    We haven’t done a Photo of the Day in a while so what better way to return from hiatus than with this awesome shot from Chuck Cagara of MagicalLightPhotography.com. Chuck said: I was lucky to be in the park from Jan. 18 – Jan. 24th. We tell friends, “We had falling trees, power outages, limited…

  • Share Your Yosemite: Generations

    Continuing our Share Your Yosemite series, Kevin sent us this email of his yosemite. My first trip to Yosemite was when I was in my early teens with a group of 4-5 families from our neighborhood. I grew up at the beach in Southern California, so my dad’s attitude tended to be why vacation when…

  • Share Your Yosemite: Let’s Go to Yosemite!

    Here’s a great story (and photo) by Jennifer that shows you don’t have to spend an entire day in Yosemite to have a great memory. Give it a read. I’ve lived my entire life in Fresno, and my father’s family has had a cabin in Fish Camp since the 1940s, so trips to Yosemite have…

Travel Guide Lonely Planet has come out with a list of the Worlds Top 10 Experiences for Thrill Seekers and guess what’s in the number 3 spot on the list, climbing in Yosemite. Also on the list (in…

  • Share Your Yosemite

    Judy’s email she sent really made me think. Yosemite is a special place to each and every one. We each find our own little piece of it that fits in our world and we cling to that piece. That’s why I’ve decided to start something new. Share Your Yosemite. Tell us your memory of Yosemite.…

  • Judy Shares Her Yosemite

    I got an email this morning from Judy asking about flying into Merced on Great Lakes Aviation. Honestly, I’ve never heard of Great Lakes nor was I aware Merced had commuter flights coming in. But it wasn’t that that spurred me to post, it was the second email I received from Judy that has a…

  • The Oystergate Scandal

    Here’s an interesting video about the Point Reyes Oyster Farm Scandal that took place while Neubacher was there. I’m a little disappointed the website doesn’t have any credibility by citing who made it, who endorses it, or even who made the video. There’s no way to tell if the people in the video were properly…

  • The Sound of Water (video)

    Today I spent the day shooting HD video all around Yosemite Valley. If you follow us on Twitter you probably noticed the steady stream of photos and twitvideos (video 1, video 2) as I hiked around and shot. One of the nice things about hiking around today was that I pretty much had the park…
