  • An Introduction to Hiking Half Dome (video)

    The NPS has produced a great new video that gives a REALLY good introduction on hiking Half Dome. It talks about what you need, hazards and things you need to watch out for. If you’ve been thinking about hiking Half Dome it’s worth checking out the video first.

  • Close Encounter With a Bear (video)

    Here’s a video by a park visitor who happened to get some nice video of a bear in Yosemite. The bear is a cinnamon colored Black Bear not a Grizzly as noted in the video’s caption. It’s a common mistake, they do look like a Grizzly but they’re substantially smaller in size and their face…

  • Yosemite Falls (video)

    With the wet winter and nice warm Spring we’re having you can bet the waterfalls around the park are putting on quite a show. If you aren’t lucky enough to be able to make it up until later this year here’s a great video from Yosemite Nature Notes about Yosemite Falls. Enjoy! I highly recommend…

  • The Annual Migration (and a video)

    If you’ve never been to Yosemite in February you’ve missed one of the greatest migratory events in recent history. The flocking of the photographers. Every year the photographers migrate in from their winter nesting grounds for 2 weeks to preen themselves and take pictures of Horsetail Fall in the setting light of the winter Sun.…

  • Hike to Mono Lake (video) by dsograph1

    You know I’ve always wanted to visit Mono Lake in winter but since I traded in my Jeep Wrangler for a Honda Element I’ve become a little bit more hesitant to drive in areas that get deep snow. Ok, I’m a wimp but with great videos like this one of Mono Lake blanketed in snow…

  • Yosemite in WInter 2010 (video) by dsograph

    Here’s a great video I stumbled across on Youtube this morning from dsograph of Yosemite Valley in Winter. The video is best in HD so head over to Youtube and check it out. Don’t forget to change your video settings to 720p to see it in HD. The option for video size is in the…

  • 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…

  • In the Presence of Giants

    In the middle of winter most visitors to the park don’t visit the 3 groves of Giant Sequoia in the park so sometimes its good to get a reminder that Yosemite isn’t just cliffs and towering waterfalls. It’s so much more. No photo or video could ever compare to actually standing in the presence of…
