Originally, Yosemite was visited by arriving on horseback or (later) by stagecoach. This series of posts will reveal details of the early buildings in and around the valley; where they were, who ran them, what was around them. In this post, we’ll learn about the Sentinel Hotel, Yosemite Chapel, Stoneman House and Camp Curry (now “Half Dome Village)
Going Rogue
Wouldn’t it be nice to just wander the park and see what there is to see? I mean, “forget the trail”; just go! There are lots of options; hiking, of course, but also the use of stock animals and even cross country skiing.
Getting Excited About My Next Trip To Yosemite…
Next weekend I’m going to visit my dad with my brother and help him with some things around the house, but since that’s quite a jaunt for me (he’s in Santa Cruz, CA and I’m in Bullhead City, AZ) I thought I’d break it up with a layover at Yosemite. I’ve been trying to get out there since we moved here last November, but alas, I couldn’t make it happen.
Glacier Point to Happy Isles – The Panorama Trail
There are a number hikes that I have taken or would like to take (and one, I have no interest in taking). In this post, I’ll share with you my dazed and confused surprise with the Panorama Trail.

About This Site
Hello, my name is Jeff Kreider. I snapped my first photograph in Yosemite December 24, 1979. Over the years it has become a passion. It is hard NOT to get inspired by the beauty of this park. This park is more than mere scenic opportunities; it is a virtual wonderland wrought by yesteryear. It is my goal to use this site to share, not only my experiences and photos, but also some of its history and the tales of those who forged it.Recent Posts
