2 hours is just wild! I don't know when, but I will ski there someday.

Very likely! It's super convenient to get to.

Right? Will never tire of coming here.

Nice experience though! I was able to do mist trail up Vernal Fall in three different seasons: spring with my mom, summer with my brother, and autumn with my wife.

I remember still using a non-weatherproof Fujifilm camera during my first two trips and being worried more than half the time. Still would gladly do it again.

That sounds like quite the trip! Got photos to share?

This was taken on the Sentinel Drive bridge connecting Southside and Northside Drives. Super easy to get to!

Lovely time to visit tbh. The west, southwest, and south entrances are open. Only Tioga Rd - continuation of Hwy 120 to east exit - is closed. The valley is open year round - so lots of things to do still! In this same trip, we hiked Upper Yosemite falls, Mirror Lake, and Tuolumne Grove (of sequoias).

Glacier Point Rd is closed to private cars in winter BUT you can take the shuttle bus up. It turns into some sort of ski resort that time of year. I still have skiing in Glacier Point in my bucket list.

During this same trip, my wife and I "accidentally" climbed Upper Yosemite falls. I swear I thought AllTrails said moderate and not hard.

Pro: beautiful sunset photo from Columbia Rock

Con: we were still above the treeline at sunset 😅

Thanks! Nothing fancy: Phone over the wooden bridge guard rail. Samsung Note 10+ in RAW output mode.

That's beautiful!

Awesome! I took this on the tail end of winter last year - Feb 2022. I can only imagine how nice it must've been deep in winter.

A person would be about as tall as the light part on the right side of the rightmost sequoia.

Four ents right there

Probably the clarity pull + texture push to compensate 😃
