Yosemite Summit 2012 Full; Waiting List Opens

December 8th, 2011

Yosemite Summit 2012 is now full. That doesn’t mean an opening couldn’t open up, occasionally things happen where an attendee can’t come and cancels in the last month – so if you would like to come, I would still recommend you make a deposit and register so that if an opening is freed up last [...]

Yosemite Safe Despite Tragic Deaths

July 22nd, 2011

This is the second time I have been in Yosemite National Park when people have died on the Mist Trail. This past week, I have received so many e-mails and calls from concerned family and friends who heard about there being three deaths in Yosemite, since my family of three was there.
