2023 Firefall
The 2023 firefall season seems to have been very brief. I snowshoed to Sentinel Dome on Friday, February 17, and it was cloudy that night and the following one. Before then, it was too early for an optimal alignment. I shot this on Sunday, Feb 19. On Monday, a huge storm blew in, ending the opportunities to photograph the firefall.
While thousands of people gathered on the floor of Yosemite Valley, only a few watched from the rim. 11 miles of snow travel from the nearest plowed road keeps out the crowds.
