With the high country snow melts, Yosemite’s waterfalls and rivers spring to life, invoking scenes like perhaps no other in the world. In years of maximum water flow, Yosemite’s Upper and Lower Falls make a thundering sound that can be heard throughout the Valley. Bridalveil Fall is spectacular in the spring, with sprays that reach half of its 620-foot height. Some waterfalls such as Ribbon Falls only appear during the spring if it’s wet enough – at 1,162 feet, it is one of the tallest waterfalls in the world.
This tour has been scheduled to coincide with peak waterfall season during winter. You’ll have the opportunity to photograph rainbows, waterfalls, and wide-open landscapes at some of Yosemite’s most iconic locations. Some of which include the giant granite domes of El Capitan, Sentinel Dome, and Half-Dome, and the cascading waters of Yosemite Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and Vernal Falls. We’ll also shoot many other locations on the valley floor, ensuring that you’re in the right place at the right time during the best lighting conditions.
Some of the Shooting Location Highlights:
Glacier Point’s commanding view of Yosemite Valley, Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, Vernal Fall, and Nevada Fall
Horsetail Fall (Firefall)
Valley Floor photographing El Capitan, Yosemite Falls, the Three Brothers, the Merced River, and Half Dome
