  • Photo of the Day: 2 Shots of Horsetail Fall by Chuck Cagara

    After being disappointed during several outings over the past two weeks, we ventured forth again today after closely monitoring the weather and satellite reports. It looked like a reasonable expectation of moderately clear skies at the sunset time. While we did not enjoy the trickle of deep red that sometimes reveals itself after official sunset,…

  • Photo Video of the Day: When Tree Meets Car by Steven Bumgardner

    @YosemiteSteve (aka Steven Bumgardner from Yosemite Nature Notes) tweeted this tonight and I knew it had to be Photo Video of the Day. It’s not actually in Yosemite but you can’t help but laugh at the poor guys rotten luck of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Great video, Steven.

  • Photo of the Day: Half Dome Sunset by Carl Sax

    Today’s Photo of the Day comes by recommendation from Alexandra Halsey who messaged me yesterday about the beautiful photos that have been popping up in the new Yosemite Blog Flickr Group. In particular she said to take a look at these by Carl Sax. I was blown away. Great shots Carl. Be sure you check…

  • Tioga Road Opening Date – Not Anytime Soon

    Pam wrote in to ask me the other day, “When am I going to be able to go through Tioga Pass?” Well, not anytime soon. Tioga Pass is closed and, unless there’s some freak warm front and storm that comes through to melt all the snow, will probably be for a while. Traditionally the Park…

  • Photo of the Day: On the Outside Looking In by Tony Immoos

    So if you only read Yosemite Blog in your email or via the RSS feed then you’ve probably been missing the discussion that’s been taking place in the comments for the picture of Half Dome that showed up in the Patterson Irrigator. Having a little free time and a desire for the truth, Tony Immoos…

  • What the? Is that Half Dome?

    This photo popped up in the Patterson Irrigator and was reported to have been taken just outside Patterson (west Central Valley) city limits. In the photo what appears to be Half Dome is visible in the center. I say appears to be because in all my life living in the Central Valley I have never…

  • Don’t Miss Horsetail Fall

    If you’re headed up to Yosemite to catch the Firefall (Horsetail Fall) then listen up. Northside Drive in Yosemite Valley, from Camp 4 to El Capitan Crossover, is closed for road work until May 2009. Southside Drive east of El Capitan Crossover is open to two-way traffic for access to eastern Yosemite Valley (including Yosemite…

  • Getting Married in Yosemite a Family Affair

    When my wife and I first talked of marriage we looked long and hard at the Yosemite Chapel. We both like it and loved Yosemite so it seemed like a perfect fit. But, as in all things, concerns for our family and guests led us to get married in our home town. We still talk…

  • Dane and His Mighty Camera

    Dane’s wife Angie was raised in Mariposa so it really came as no surprise when Dane told me they were moving back to the hills so they could be close to her parents and raise their kids outside the city. Hey I was raised in the country so I see nothing wrong with it. Besides,…
