Recently, Em and I had the pleasure of showing her family one of the most beautiful valleys in America. With family in town and want to take an actual relaxing vacation and not think about creating images, I didn’t bring my camera for this one. To be honest, I always regret doing this, but it was nice taking a break from lugging a camera around and thankfully the trusty iPhone can produce some pretty stellar images.

The first stop of course was Tunnel View. This view gets me every time I see it. Photographs CAN NOT do this place justice. We hung out in this spot, just staring in awe for a good 10 minutes

Another must-see from Yosemite is Glacier Point. This drive is perfect if you don’t want to spend 6 hours hiking up a mountain (which I would highly encourage a big hike at least once). As with most of the views of Yosemite Valley, you just have to see it in person. Definitely, bring a jacket for this one, you’ll be at 7,214 feet above sea level.

7,214 feet up. Gripping my phone VERY tightly.
