Yosemite Photographs – Early July 2007
I spent three days in and around Tuolumne Meadows in the Yosemite National Park high country in early July, visiting the area around Tioga Pass, the route out toward Young Lakes, Tenaya Lake, and Mount Hoffman. I’ve already posted a few of the following photos, but here is a collection of some of my favorites from that trip.

Some Photography News
First, I recently move my photography web site, G Dan Mitchell | Photography, to a new host. In addition, I began work on a new Gallery companion site where I will archive – and display – my photographic work.
Second, in early June I spent a few days photographing the Yosemite high country around Tuolumne Meadows and Tioga Pass. Many photographs have already been posted at the photography site, but I’m going to put a few of them up here over the next few days.
Two-Heel Drive on Sanborn-Skyline Park
Tom Mangan (Two-Heel Drive) writes about one of my favorite local hiking areas:
Latest Hikes column: Sanborn-Skyline County Park. From my Hikes column at the Mercury News.
… A typical Saturday afternoon at Sanborn-Skyline might see a wedding reception, a family reunion and a half-dozen large cookouts all happening on the park’s main grounds. Busy, crowded, noisy. With an 8 a.m. sharp start, however, you might get to see a couple of young deer casually grazing within a stone’s throw of the park’s visitor center, as I did the last weekend in June. Quiet, calm – you know, what you go hiking to find.
One of my favorite “hikes with a climb” starts at Sanborn Park and ascends through forest (including some second growth Redwoods) to the ridgeline before traversing to Castle Rock State Park.
Book recounts environmentalists' fight in the Bay Area
Paul McHugh writes in SF Gate about a new book that I’d like to read:
The broad bands of green land that embrace Bay Area urban zones offer both humans and wildlife refuge, respite and regeneration. These preserves are no accident of history. They result from a hard-fought, century-long crusade. This immense battle is recounted in illuminating detail by Cal professor Richard Walker in a book, “The Country in the City,” just out from the University of Washington Press.
