Another time I came out from there in the snow and had one set of tire tracks leading to my vehicle at the road blockade managed by a Park Ranger who insisted I could not have come from there. My tire tracks, our footprints in the snow... where else could I have come from?
Some great foul weather photos in odd locations make for good trips and uncrowded locations.
Enjoy Yosemite. We are hoping for some snow here. A skiff of half inch yesterday and with winter on the way the next few snows should stick. Hope so as it will be getting cold soon. Last night was 16 degrees and we are waiting for Winter to come. Good windy snow conditions make for some nice photos tho they do have me shooting with the smaller cameras as setting up an 8x10 in 30mph+ winds and blowing snow doesn't work too well. With a windbreak or some protection it is doable but at 20 below zero taking a half hour to set up a windbreak doesn't work too well for me these days. So, gear to match the winter extremes.
