Yosemite is one of my favorite places to explore and photograph. It's where my passion for hiking exploded two decades ago, it's where I had my first job in the outdoors, and it continues to draw me back across all its spectacular seasons.
I took this photo on a short backpacking trip, one of my favorite pastimes. There is no trail to this location, which allowed me to quickly separate from the thousands of people in Yosemite Valley thousands of feet below and gain a true wilderness experience, just the way I love it!
This actually wasn't the composition I had in mind, but it turned out to be one of my favorites. The way the clouds and evening light played with the mountain range was just so special. Using my knowledge as a meteorologist, I knew a couple days in advance that a great sunset was likely here, and was able to plan my trip around watching it from this remote location. It was such a treat, and I'm excited to be able to share it with you in VAST form!
