<p>I'm going to do something a little different than what I usually do on Flickr when I come home with gigs upon gigs of photos from a trip. Rather than putting them up in any order that I see fit, I'm actually going to go in order, event by event, day by day, and relay the full experience of the trip, the good, the bad, and hopefully the not too photogenically ugly. Our National Parks and public lands are under seige right now. The current administration wants to whittle them away, sell them off, and profit off of what is YOUR birthright. What better way to advocate for them and the experiences you can have on our public lands than showing you exactly what we experienced? Here goes nothing- here's &quot;Out West '25&quot;. <br />
<br />
<br />
Ten years ago, this summer, I visited Yosemite for the first time. It was one of my first national park trips out west as an adult and it was part of a series of “first visits” that threw a lifelong love of our National Parks Service into overdrive- what was a passive appreciation for nature and history became driving forces in my life and ideas about the world. Shamefully, on that first visit, and because of poor planning, I never made it to Glacier Point. I regretted it. I planned to return in 2020 and of course, that never happened. I came back to Yosemite in 2022 and Glacier Point Road was closed for repairs. But finally, in 2025, ten years after all this wonderful craziness happened, I finally got to Glacier Point and got to bask in a sunrise over Half Dome in all her glory. This was a glorious experience that was worth the agonizing wait. It’s so good to be back in the Sierra.<br />

“Yosemite Valley, to me, is always a sunrise, a glitter of green and golden wonder in a vast edifice of stone and space. I know of no sculpture, painting or music that exceeds the compelling spiritual command of the soaring shape of granite cliff and dome, of patina of light on rock and forest, and of the thunder and whispering of the falling, flowing waters. At first the colossal aspect may dominate; then we perceive and respond to the delicate and persuasive complex of nature.” - Ansel Adams</p>

<p>A vibrant tree with fresh green leaves stands by a wide river, offering contrast against the dramatic cloudy sky. The scant rays of northern summer sunlight, having barely made their way through the numerous clouds, briefly illuminated the tree. In the distance, a bridge crosses the river, connecting the banks.</p>
