It's 🔥Firefall🔥 season in Yosemite In February Yosemite Valley is home to an incredible natural phenomenon. If Horsetail Fall is flowing off El Capitan, and the setting sun hits it at just the right angle, the waterfall glows orange and red! #yosemite #firefall #horsetailfall #yosemitevalley #california #findyourpark #waterfall #sierranevada #elcapitan #visitcalifornia

Just published "The Definitive Guide to Hiking Half Dome" (see link in bio) – the most comprehensive Half Dome guide online! + 4000+ words of tips, tricks and essential info, including how to navigate the permit process. + To celebrate, I'm posting my favorite Half Dome photos. + This was taken a few years back in early June. I woke up to find Yosemite Valley filled with clouds. As the sun rose higher, the clouds burned off, and there, in the middle of everything, was Half Dome. + #yosemite #halfdome #yosemitevalley #glacierpoint #california #findyourpark #ourplanetdaily #sierranevada #visitcalifornia #clouds #yosemitehalfdome #mountainlife

Heading down Half Dome's cables, you'll be treated to stunning views of Yosemite's High Sierra – an alpine wonderland filled with sparkling granite. + Clouds Rest – a dramatic peak that rises 1,000 feet higher than Half Dome – dominates the horizon. #halfdome #yosemite #california #halfdomecables #findyourpark #cloudsrest #highsierra #sierranevada

Tenaya Lake, located off Tioga Road in Yosemite's High Sierra, is one of my favorite places in the park. The Ahwahneechee called it "Pywiack" – Lake of Shining Rocks. White settlers later named it Tenaya after the chief of the Ahwahneechee. #yosemite #tenayalake #yosemitenationalpark #highsierra #tiogaroad #findyourpark

Yosemite Falls – at 2,425 feet the highest waterfall in North America and the fifth-highest waterfall in the world. The Ahwahneechee call Yosemite Falls "Choo-Look" (The Fall) and they believe a dangerous group of spirit women called "Po'-loti" live in the waters below the waterfall. #findyourpark #yosemite #yosemitefalls #yosemitevalley #waterfall #california @yosemitenps @nationalparkservice @goparks
