Hotels and other buildings in Yosemite have come and gone during the first 100 years. I have published a number of posts on the subject. In this post offer links to those posts so they may be easily revisited.
Remembering the Old Yosemite Village
I took a friend through the valley and Wawona for her first visit since 1956. A lot of changes have occurred in the last 60 years.
The Night Sky at Yosemite
The night sky was my primary interest on my recent trip to Yosemite. There are two major challenges to such photos. One is focusing in the dark and the other is avoiding people and cars with their lights on.
Photos of Half Dome
There are a number of “iconic” sites around the Valley to photograph. A few of them I can’t help but snap every time I’m there. One of them is Half Dome.
The Pohono Trail Wish
There are a number of hikes I haven’t had the opportunity to take. One that interests me is the Pohono Trail, which runs down from Glacier Point along the south rim to the valley floor at Tunnel View.
Yosemite: The Four Mile Trail…
This trail was carved out in the early 1870s by James McCauly who got a contract from the state to put a toll road up to Glacier Point and build a Hotel. Going up and down, it is a strenuous 9 mile hike, but going down (which I did), it is classified as an easy, 2 ½ hour hike.
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
