    Today’s Yosemite National Park forecast: HOT and sunny! Highs in the mid to upper 90’s. Overnight lows around 59F. If you’re going hiking today start early, finish early.

  • Photo of the Day: Fiery Evening Sky, Tuolumne Meadows by G. Dan Mitchell

    It’s always a pleasure to see one of Dan Mitchell’s beautiful photos and today’s Photo of the Day is what I would consider one of his best.

Since most falcons make their nests in high cliff walls or dead tree snags Yosemite makes an ideal breeding ground. Each year the National Park Service closes several climbing routes until nesting pairs have finished fledging their young and…

  • Photo of the Day: A Very Noble Fellow by Robin Black

    Today’s Photo of the Day is from Robin Black who sent me a link to her photoblog and some photos of her recent trip to Yosemite. While looking at all her beautiful photos I kept coming back to this little guy who just kinda stuck in my head. It’s as if he’s saying, “Yah. It’s…
