A Winter's Morning On The Merced
Winter is easily my favorite season to shoot in Yosemite National Park. On this particular morning, all of my weather apps were telling me that there would be 100 percent cloud cover at sunrise and that it would be best to sleep in and just not bother heading out. As I sat in Yosemite Lodge looking out at the snow coming down, it suddenly began to get a bit lighter over toward the falls. By the time a tiny patch of blue appeared over towards the East, my boots were on and I was trying to plow my Prius through several inches of newly fallen snow. (Even with chains, the Prius can only handle about 4 inches before it begins to bottom out.) After sliding into a parking spot, I quickly beat a path down toward the Merced River and I arrived just as the sun rose over the ridge, lighting up the newly fallen snow.
My latest youtube episode features this winter scene and several others like it as it covers trips to a snow-covered Yosemite in 2017, 2019 and 2021. 2019 was a particularly fun year as I got snowed in, arriving in the park just as they closed the roads behind me.
