Sunrise at Tunnel View never disappoints.
This was the first time I’d been back to my favorite place since before the accident and sadly, it was my shortest visit yet. After shooting sunrise in Sequoia NP earlier that morning, I had planned to hike up Yosemite Falls later that night and shoot sunrise the following morning. However, between the insane amount of humans in the park and no bear boxes nearby to stash my food, I abandoned those plans and decided it was best to play it safe and get out of the park asap. With that being said, I’m still stoked to have finally made it back to my happy place and I’m proud to say I did the whole road trip solo (crazy, I know). Things might not have gone to plan, but that’ll happen when you don’t plan very far ahead (I think they call that spontaneity, right!?). 🤷🏻♂️ I’ll take that as a lesson learned and attempt to procure a wilderness permit well ahead of time so I can go to places far less peopley.
