Natalie,
For 25 years, while living in Sacramento, Yosemite was on the agenda twice a year, in the spring and fall. Tent camped, stayed in the Curry village
cabin tents ( froze our burro off ), motorhome and camper in the lower river campground, etc.
Besides the Monterey peninsula, one of my favorite places in California.
Thanks very much for bringing back beautiful memories.
And the pictures are spectacular.

Vandenberg... From the time we moved to California in the late seventies, we spent most every weekend in the Yosemite high country. To this day when
my son is stressed from work, he drives to Yosemite, climbs the Dome, drives home again. Says he's completely relaxed before he reaches the top.
Now that my son is grown, Steve and I only get to Yosemite about once a season... and to be honest, it has been awhile since I've seen winter in
Yosemite. Most of the photos I've posted are from July-September 2006.
Since I can't make it to Baja until January or February, we're considering a Christmas tour of Yosemite this year. Anyone with winter Yosemite pix or
some of the Easter Sierras? I'd love to see them added.

Not related to Baja???
Sure it is----just follow along
Looking down on the Eastern Sierra from the Whites.
The Aspens near Lundy Lake looking down on Mono Lake
Interesting late fall afternoon shadows on the rocks at Convict Lake
Ah, and the fairly new Lone Pine Movie museum--they were still painting the outside mural ---Lone Pine and the Alabama Hills where Under Mexicali
Stars was shot in 1950 as well as Down Mexico Way in about 1940----see, it is all related to Mexico and Baja.
And the famous High Sierra Car driven by Bogart---hey, arn't those mountains still the Sierras in Baja?
Besides, California is only Alta California.

Excellent photos, Diane. I love the White Mountains, Mono Lake, the the ghost town of Bodie.
Those bear traps, Pompano - thanks for sharing. I especially like that bear with the bare legs and wearing white sox.... the one hiding behind the
open trap door. Hairy bear, he is.

Steve was feeling ill those first two days, felt better on day 3 and so did this entire climb alone - valley floor to top of the dome and back - in
one day. He left late, about 7:30 a.m. He was blessed with a full moon for the hike down, and walked into camp about 1 a.m.

most excellent. if he accomplished half-dome in a day, tell him to shoot for doing something like whitney in a day.
nothing is more satisfying than cranking out one-day endurance hikes/runs on high peaks. seems like there is never enough time for long weekend
backpacks, so gotta maximize the time to bag the peaks.

Nena, thank you for starting this beautiful thread!
A love of mountains knows no boundaries-- Baja, California, Montana, New York state, they are all connected. In fact I'm sending the link to my
son-in law in NY who loves mountains, climbing and getting to the very top.
Igor, your winter shots make me want to go north for a quick glimpse of icy beauty!
