The Photographer’s Guide to Yosemite Michael Frye’s book has long been on our library shelves, in our car and in our packs. It’s full of great information on what to shoot in Yosemite, learning about your camera and when to go to Yosemite. |

Off the Wall: Death in Yosemite This book should be mandatory reading (and there should be a quiz) for any visitor to Yosemite. It’s not morbid but it’s a great history of tragedy in Yosemite and how you can avoid making the same mistakes others have made. |

Four Seasons of Yosemite: A Photographer’s Journey (Includes DVD, Yosemite: The Fate of Heaven, narrated by Robert Redford) This book is awesome just because you get Robert Redford’s The Fate of Heaven on DVD with the book. I still have my copy on VHS. |

One Best Hike: Yosemite’s Half Dome Rick Deutsh is another fried of Yosemite Blog and a great guy. His guide to Hiking Half Dome is easily one of the best out there and you should definitely read it before you even think about getting your permit to do the hike. It covers what to expect, what to take and how to survive on the trail. It’s a great guide and Rick recently updated it. Definitely add it to your library. |
