Tuolumne River – (one more!)
We just got back from the trip and I’ve got a whole mess of film to develop. For now – here’s one more from around Glen Aulin. I’ll be working on the film this week. Also there’s some stuff from the east coast i’ve been sitting on from this summer. New Jersey – Wildwood even…

Tuolumne River… Back in the hills
On the way back out to the meadow from Glen Aulin we made a short detour to check out Devil’s Postpile. I chose not to check out the Postpile and watch everyone’s gear as they took the short hike off-trail (aka: eat a clif bar, drink some water and climb down the rocks to shoot…

YNP – California Falls
About a mile and a half past Glen Aulin is California Falls, the first of 3 sets of water falls. As the water level is relatively low it’s pretty easy to walk right up to the water’s edge. During the spring time i can only imagine how much more water comes through there – all…

Morning Light on the Tuolumne River
We were only there for 2 mornings, but this is what it look on each of them. The water was so clear you could generally see down to the bottom no matter how deep it was (granted it’s late summer and the water isn’t really that deep, maybe 20 feet at the most). More than…

Glen Aulin Falls – YNP

Tuolumne River
All along the trail the water flowed down the granite slabs as it has done for thousands of years. In many places the granite is so worn by the flow of the water that it looks just like the sand on a beach as the waves retreat, the solid rock taking on the shape of…

Tuolumne River Rapids
Surprisingly – to me at least – the river was strong, even in mid-august. All along the trail from Tuolumne to Glen Aulin the river rolls down long slabs of granite creating rapids that stretch on for hundreds of yards. This spot was just below the Glen Aulin campground. The contrast of the 3 different…

Climbers – Yosemite High Country
We stayed up at one of the Yosemite High Camps this past weekend – May Lake to be specific – highly recommended. Tour buses and the tourists that go along with them never really make it out of the vally. At 10,000 feet they’re a distant memory. The camp was great and there are 4…
