Yosemite: Ansel Adams Was Here

Ansel Adams photographed this view from southern Yosemite National Park, with El Capitan on the left, Bridal Veil Falls on the right, and Half Dome visible in the distance. I believe there is plenty of snow in the Adams picture. Actually, spring is a great time to visit Yosemite. First, the waterfalls are at their peak with run-off; second, there are hardly any visitors. One drawback is that the hiking trails become slippery with snow and ice as you ascend. But it's worth it, having the Park to yourselves.
