Map Of Locations In Yosemite Valley And Along Glacier Point Road
The Classic View Of The Entrance To Yosemite Valley, Taken From Tunnel View In Late Afternoon Light.
El Capitan Is On The Left, Cathedral Rocks And Bridalveil Falls Are On The Right, Half Dome Is
Peeking Out In The Middle Of The Frame, And Sentinel Rock Juts Out Between Cathedral Rocks And Half
Dome.
A Closer Look At Cathedral Rocks, Again Taken From Tunnel View. The Rightmost peak is Leaning Tower,
The Site Of The Tragic Death Of Mountain Climber Todd Skinner On 23 October 2006, Who Died While
Pioneering A New Route Up This Peak.
A View Of El Capitan And Cathedral Rocks From The Valley Floor, With the Merced River In The
Foreground. This Was Taken From The Valley View Pullout.
Cathedral Rocks Reflected In The Merced River In Late Afternoon Light, Taken From Valley View.
Bridalveil Falls Is Barely Visible Behind The Trees In The Center Of The Image.
A Closer View Of Bridalveil Falls Catching The Late Afternoon Sunlight. In Late October, Only
A Trickle Of Water Falls.
El Capitan Viewed From The Valley Floor
Another View Of El Capitan, With The Merced River In The Foreground
Yosemite Chapel In Late Afternoon Light
The Golden Leaves Of The Black Oaks Arching Over The Road Made It Seem Like Driving Through
A Tunnel Of Light.
The Ahwahnee Hotel Is Definitely The Poshest Lodging In The Park, With Their Nicest Room Going
For Over $900/Night (A Bit Out Of My Price Range). Presidents, Royalty And Other Dignitaries
Have Stayed At The Ahwahnee Over The Years, But The Most Distinguished Guest In My Opinion
Was Ansel Adams, Who Lived In The Hotel For Some Time.
Half Dome Viewed From Mirror Lake.
Boulder And Fall Color Beside Mirror Lake Trail
Another Boulder And More Fall Color Beside Mirror Lake Trail
Yet Another Boulder And Even More Fall Color Beside Mirror Lake Trail. I Guess I Have A Thing
For Boulders And Fall Color :-) I Really Liked This Trail. It's A Short Hike, Only About Four
To Five Miles Around, And Well Worth The Exercise. The Boulder And Fall Color Shots Were Taken
On The Eastern Side Of The Trail, Below Half Dome.
Mushrooms Beside Mirror Lake Trail. I Wonder If I Have A Thing For Mushrooms As Well?
A Mossy Log Beside Mirror Lake Trail. I Guess I Just Liked The Colors.
Tenaya Creek Below Mirror Lake.
Black Oaks In Full Fall Color Beside Bike Trail Near Yosemite Village.
