Yosemite Association Cams: Bringing the View to Your PC
Well it looks like the Yosemite Association’s Sentinel Dome cam is down again. It was up for a time yesterday and from what I could see this latest storm has dumped quite an accumulation of snow on the flank of the dome. So much so it looked like the cam might be soon buried. But…

Yosemite Falls: Access is Key
I took a little time to explore the renovations the National Park Service had made to the Yosemite Falls viewing area this weekend and I’m impressed.

It’s a Beautiful Day
It’s a beautiful day in Yosemite. The rain and snow have subsided (for a while at least) and the sun has come out. It’s a glittering white wonderland of snow. Too bad I can’t be there to enjoy it today.

Tuolumne Meadows Ski Hut: An Adventure Most Will Never See
Even though Tuolumne Meadows and Tioga Pass are closed to motorized vehicle traffic that doesn’t mean it’s closed to skiers. In fact, it’s some of the best cross country skiing in northern California but take note, it does take a bit of work to get there. At 8 miles west of Tioga Pass the Tuolumne…
