Pictures of Yosemite
These shots are from a trip to Yosemite National Park in early March.
Whenever I go during some oddball time of year, people ask a lot of questions
like "is there snow", "is there water in the waterfalls", etc. So this
time I took a few quick snaps with a cheap digital camera.
Yosemite Falls - note there's some frozen water but basically it's flowing once the sun comes out.
The Ahwahnee hotel - This is a little later in the day, and the clouds are
coming in. Notice that there's some snow on the ground, but in open
areas it's really not much. If you go hiking a bit back into the
woods it's a couple of feet deep.
Tunnel View - I've heard people call this by a few different names, but it's
one of the classic Yosemite pictures. Note the snow on the higher elevations,
but the valley itself isn't so bad.
The Wife.
So all in all, March is a nice enough time to visit. It was a lot warmer than my visit in December but still fairly cold. You can also compare these to my visit in April when the snow is all gone or in Fall.

The Yosemite Handbook : An Insider's Guide to the ParkThis is the only really useful guide to Yosemite we've found. Phil Frank is an amazing illustrator and he clearly knows the park very well. This is the same guy that draws Farley, which you may recognize if you live near San Francisco. Even if you're already familiar with the park you'll learn stuff. I bought this on maybe my fourth trip and still found it useful. It's also amusing and an easy read which I really appreciate in a guidebook! |
