Yosemite National Park, California

One of the most beautiful places on earth...both the valley, and the high country of the Sierra crest. I've been fortunate to be able to play there often.

Morning on North Peak

Soft summer morning light shows off the impressive north face of North Peak (12242 ft / 3731 m), near the eastern edge of Yosemite National Park. It's a Sierra classic, with great granite for climbing, and several spicy couloirs for ice climbing and skiing. All just an easy two-hour hike from the trailhead at Saddlebag Lake.
