The Sierra Nevada mountain range dominates the landscape between California and Nevada. On the eastern side of the range, you’ll find Mono Lake. This is a large, shallow soda lake that’s saltier than the ocean. Each year Mono Lake serves as an important resting stop for millions of migratory birds.

travelers stories about Mountain range in June Lake, United States

Mountain range in June Lake, United States

  19 km from Mono County


We were in June Lake for when Michaela had the great idea to try and capture the night sky. We opened up one of our apps that identifies the Milky Way, and we got excited when we saw it was behind the mountain outside our window. We immediately went to a spot where no cars really drive by, set up the tripod, and planned on taking an awesome timelapse. After the test shot finished up, we were disheartened with the clouded Milky Way. Rather than set up a timelapse, we settled for this photo that we grew to love. Life is beautiful, even when things don’t go how you plan.

Hill in Eastern Sierras, United States

  39 km from Mono County


Where am I going? I often know exactly where I am and where I want to go, but then look up and think, “How did I get here?” I trust my God, it’s my freewill I don’t trust. Or anyone else’s for that matter. When I’m in this place I feel like all I can think about is my God. I look at His creation and that’s all I can see. The clouds, the mountains, the brush, the cold, the snow, my wife. That last one is one of His finest creations. God help me to never take what You’ve created for granted. I don’t believe You made this so I could sit in a room and pray with my eyes closed. Thank You.

River in Upper Cathedral Lake, United States

  42 km from Mono County


After a long hike up through rain, snow and 20 degree temperature, I didn’t know what to expect when we reached Upper Cathedral Lake in Yosemite National Park. The clouds seemed to be pulling to the north so I adjusted my position hoping to keep them in frame for sunset. As I waited, a group of hikers came up to admire the view. One of them stepped out on the rocks to take it all in and I was able to capture this reflective moment.

Summit in Yosemite National Park, United States

This photo was taken at the end of my 10 week road trip around the USA. The whole trip was filled with incredible views, but the is something very special about Yosemite National Park. The incredible size of the mountain range is hard to judge in a photo, it has to be seen in person be truly appreciated.

Nature reserve in Yosemite National Park, United States

by far one of the most amazing views I have ever seen. The Tunnel view in Yosemite National Park does a great job putting g life into perspective and really showing how small we really are. Shot this 2 weeks ago just before it started raining. Its amazing how much water is in the valley right now.

I met this gentleman, who has been photographing Yosemite for the past 30 years, as I was about to leave the park. I could spend hours talking to him about photography, he explained to me how he uses the large format film camera, told me stories about old times and more. The work that he puts into his photos is amazing.

Forest in Yosemite National Park, United States

  52 km from Mono County


I was driving through Yosemite on my way back home when I saw this. It perfectly symbolized the cycle of life, with the new greenery exploding around the tall, charred trees that once were. There wasn’t anywhere to pull over, so I stopped, grabbed my camera and took a single shot. I’m glad it turned out.

Hill station in Half Dome, United States

  55 km from Mono County


Once we got to the top of the Half Dome, I quickly found this spot and asked my wife to go to the edge of the cliff and pose there. I got a confident NO and had to switch roles. That rare case when I’m a model and my wife is a photographer. It played pretty well.

Summit in Half Dome, United States

  55 km from Mono County


Before the first person climbed to the top of the Half Dome in 1875, it was considered impossible to do. And then a man named George Anderson made it all the way to the top by drilling into the rock so that he could anchor bolts along the way to help him climb. . A set of cables now line the last, almost-vertical four hundred feet of the trail, anchored into the same holes Anderson drilled in the 19th century. His climb has enabled many others to accomplish the same test of strength.

When we arrived at Inspiration Point midmorning, we were a bit disappointed that the smoke from the nearby wildfire was so thick that visibility was poor. However, as the day went on, the smoke lifted and the visibility improved.

Since we were hiking down from Inspiration Point, we needed to wait until the next morning to catch the shuttle up. So we spent the rest of our first day in the park exploring the valley. We got lucky with a beautiful sunset.

Wildlife in Yosemite National Park Road, United States

  57 km from Mono County


We had just completed a strenuous hike, and all of us were so exhausted until we stumbled across deer in our path. They were just minding their business, not worried about us in anyway. I immediately snapped the photo of one of them crossing and continued to walk toward camp. It certainly was such a sweet moment!

Mountain river in Yosemite Valley, United States

  57 km from Mono County


After throwing itself off a cliff a half mile upstream, the Merced river roars under this bridge and down into the gorge beneath Glacier Point. This was taken on a trip from early May 2017. I’ve never seen the water this high. It was absolute insanity. I feel like I have to turn the volume down just looking at this picture.

Took this photo after waking up to a flat tire, at 4am on Christmas Eve. It was 14F (-10C) when I changed the tire, in complete darkness (well, I had a flashlight). I made it and was able to stop here for sunrise on my way to a garage shop.

The combined falls are taller than the empire state building. Its pretty impressive in person and totally worth the drive out there from San Francisco. If you ever head out to Yosemite, plan for May. Peak waterfalls and lighter traffic.

After an 11 mile hike in snowshoes and lugging a sled full of gear to the mountain top, we were finally rewarded with one of the most scenic views of Yosemite from an angle rarely seen in winter. A photo well worth the exhaustion!

Forest in Yosemite Valley, United States

  60 km from Mono County


We were looking to capture a foggy sunrise view of Half-Dome in Yosemite, but the weather wasn’t cooperating with us. The fog that did show up was low-lying and moving quickly through the trees like a ghostly river meandering through the canyon, swirling around the tallest trees in small eddies. Like too many forests, the valley is infested with borers, which has killed thousands of trees. The splash of golden trees mixed with the green is actually really beautiful, but a sad reminder of how fragile the forest is.
