It takes an endless amount of history to make even a little tradition…

While Yosemite Valley is a spot that we have been to many times over, the same is not true for another equally majestic and easily accessible part of the park, the Tioga pass. We have been to Tioga Pass only twice, and both time we were passing through the park as part of bigger trips. Both trips occurred fairly early in my landscape photography career, and recently, while cataloging my old photos, I had a chance to revisit some of the old pictures from our first trip.

I took this shot during our first visit, which was during a trip to Crater Lake. Since we were in a hurry, we only allocated an afternoon to explore the whole pass, and we picked the 4th of July week to hit the park. Every parking lot was packed, but finally, as we were driving back, the sun started to put some color on the clouds, and we managed to find a parking spot near the Tioga lake. I don’t know what forced me to abandon this shot, but I am glad I managed to get back to it.
