      I may or may not have crossed a barrier or two for some of those shots. I figured Yosemite only floods like that every 30 years or so and couldn’t help but want to get close.

    OH MY!!! These are soooo excellent! I truly appreciate the fact you didn't do a commentary. Let us be with the beauty and the natural sounds. I lived and worked in Yosemite for 10 years. Seeing these, I wonder why I left? How thrilling to see all the places I spent my days off. All that water!
    I moved to Baja California with not a pine tree or waterfall in sight.
    Thank you❣

      There was a fair bit of snow on the winter trail to Nevada Fall. The northern facing slopes and higher elevations had more, obviously. It was melting fast. Yosemite hit 70 while we were there and I can’t imagine that it will last by the time you are there.

      In case you happen to read this message before your trip, Glacier Point (and Panorama TH) are closed until late Summer 2023. The GP road is not open & then once plowed, will be re-paved, etc.

    Thanks Rich for the great shots. I've hiked Yosemite only twice, once on the Sierra loop trail to the top of half dome and stood on the domes diving board then back down the misty trail in 2001. and of course all the waterfalls. I'm 67 now with a heart condition and depend on troopers like you to bring us these great vids. Thanks again.

      I wish I could have visited all the waterfalls in Yosemite! We could see Illilouitte Falls from our hike up to Vernal Falls and Nevada Falls. Sentinel Falls, Silver Strand Falls, and Royal Arch Cascade were pretty, but not near the volume and power of the ones I filmed. We tried to make it up to Half Dome and would have seen Snow Creek Falls, but the snow was so deep during our visit that it blocked our way.
