Yosemite National Park is a place that defies description. Even the most stunning photos fail to capture the depth and scale of its breathtaking beauty. I feel incredibly fortunate to live close enough to Yosemite to make frequent visits, and always try to time my trips for when the blue skies clear and the dramatic weather moves in. Whether it's the towering granite cliffs of El Capitan and Half Dome, the thundering waterfalls of Yosemite Valley, or the serene beauty of the park's high-country wilderness, Yosemite never fails to leave me in awe. I hope my Yosemite photo gallery gives you a glimpse into the magnificence of this truly special place.
