Photo of the Day: Gates of the Valley by Jason Armstrong
Today’s Photo of the Day is another beautiful shot by Jason Armstrong, this one from the Gates of the Valley. I like shooting from this location because you can get so much of what is Yosemite in the frame. Granite peaks, tall waterfalls, pine trees, big meadows and the Merced River. In Jason’s caption he…

Play It Safe – Save Half Dome Until Your Next Trip to Yosemite
Although it can be a “once in a lifetime chance” for some people, remember there is more to Yosemite than just hiking to the top of Half Dome and with the unstable air and thunder storms that are expected to last through the end of the week, you might want to choose to see some…

Photo of the Day: Last Light on Yosemite Valley by Robert Pearce
Today’s Photo of the Day comes to us from our good friend, Robert Pearce. This is a pretty nice shot to continue on with last nights discussion about good places for sunset photography in Yosemite. Another vote for Glacier Point I think. Great shot, Robert. Photo by Robert Pearce.

Karla with a K asks about Sunset Photography
Karla wrote in to ask a question about my response to Primoz’s email. She asks, “Is Glacier point the best spot to observe/photograph sunsets? Where else would you recommend and what time for sunsets in mid-June?” Thanks for the email. It really depends what you want to see. Pretty much you want to try to…

Photo of the Day: Dogwood Blossoms and Branch by G. Dan Mitchell

These were photographed in Yosemite Valley in early May of this year on an intense one-day photography trip to The Valley.…

Honoring Yosemite’s Other River
Many visitors to the park know the Merced River with it’s thundering waterfalls (Vernal and Nevada) but most miss the beauty of the Tuolumne River as it winds it’s way through the high alpine meadows, plunges into it’s narrow granite canyon and finally rushes headlong into Hetch Hetchy Resevoir. From Hetch Hetchy the river flows…

Photo of the Day: Dogwood in Bloom over Merced River by John O’Connor
Today’s Photo of the Day is by far my favorite dogwood shot I’ve seen this year. I would have loved to have been able to take some shots myself but an unexpected bout of the stomach flu kept me lying around the house the better part of my vacation last week. So, John’s awesome photo…

Be Safe Around The Rivers – It’s Up to You
Docentjoyce posted this photo she took of the Merced River on Monday, May 18, 2009. Gives you a pretty good idea why it’s so difficult to find someone if they fall in. The rivers and streams are at their peak right now. Please, please, please exercise extra caution around water in the park this Memorial…
