The geotag may not be accurate, but it must have been somewhere in the vicinity. Negative scan of mediocre quality :-/

A SoCalEd (Southern California Edison) reservoir on the eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada, California, off the Tioga Pass road. Looking west; the eastern boundary of Yosemite National Park is at the skyline, which is the main crest of the Sierra. Map location, as usual, is approximate.

Sierra Nevada, California, USA. Looking east. This is climbing up the eastern side of the Sierra from Lee Vining on the way to Yosemite National Park. The park boundary is at the range crest, still another 5-10 miles from here. This road (California State Route 120) is not kept open in the wintertime; it usually opens around Memorial Day (end of May), but it can be as late as July. The road can be a bit nerve-wracking, especially in a big van full of college students. There are no guardrails--they'd just get swept away in the winter avalanches, and they'd also make plowing the remaining snow harder when they do reopen the road.

Yosemite National Park, California, USA. In the winter the automobile road is closed beyond the Badger Pass downhill ski area, but the road is open to cross-country skiing (but not to motorized travel, unless you're a ranger!). You can stay at the Glacier Point hut by reservation--they keep it open over the winter and bring supplies in by snowmobile. It's about 10.5 miles (~17 km), and it was a bit more grueling than I'd bargained for, because my skis weren't working well! Map location is approximate.

Upper Yosemite Falls.

Wintertime telephoto from the top of Sentinel Dome. Yosemite National Park, California, USA. In the winter the freezing spray from the falls makes quite an ice apron at the base!

From the Glacier Point road, a ski trail in the winter! This is the valley of the upper Merced River; Nevada Falls and Vernal Falls (both outlined) are visible. The dome just to (our) left of Nevada Falls is Liberty Cap, from its resemblance to caps worn by some Patriots during the American Revolution. Yosemite National Park, California, USA. Map position is approximate due to the loss of the satellite view option!

Be prepared to find some drilling rigs, a mining pit for "clean coal", a "Presidential Golf Course" or the like here soon. Thanks Mr. President!

Yosemite Valley, El Capitan (left) and almost dry Bridalvail Fall below the hanging valley on the right, Merced River in the foreground, October 1985.

This is "federal land", I hope the new administration will not sell it to Exxon, Disney, Sony or the like.
