Pick a spot, specify the season, with snow or no snow, wet or dry, before fire or after fire, or any combination of these, and you'll get a picture.
Ostrander Rocks in winter with snow.
Dec 27, 2013
Just as good... we were very very very close... will have to look if have anything else
You can easily debunk.... it wouldn't take much. Winter is a different animal.
(2013 was a pathetic snow year... we did Pohono and to Sentinel... and as you can see... no snowshoes)

Well, anyone who drives along Glacier Point Road gets pretty close to Ostrander Rocks.
Nevertheless, that's a very nice photo. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks for all the photos.
By any chance, do you have one of your own of Horsetail Fall lit up in February? Or have you always avoided the spectacle.
Tried a couple of times... didn't get much...
Actually it was kinda fun this last year... but... it didn't wow.
Maybe next. On weekday...

Not quite The Geezer, but getting there
Re: Horsetail falls: we were there this past February. Here's a link to picture taken with our point-and-shoot Canon, no retouching or playing with the shot:(someday I'll figure out how to post actual pictures here).
And here is but a small group among the many, many far more serious photographers than us who were there:
It reminded me of going to a football game - the NPS closed of the left lane of South Side Drive to allow parking, there were hundreds of vehicles parked, a few thousand people out to watch...lots of talking as we waited for the sun to set, then sudden silence and lots of shutters clicking when the falls started to change color, and a huge cheer that worked its way across the valley from west to east (kind of like the wave cheer in the stadium) as the falls finally became fiery right before the sun went down completely. Like this forum for us weirdos with a lust for granite, it was neat to share something like this with other geeks who think these things are cool.
Thanks for the links of the photos. Just bracket the links to the photos you provided between this tags [img] and [/img] and the photos will appear in your post. (I already added the tags to the two photo links that your provided.)

How recent were these taken? I'm hoping to make that crossing in a couple weeks.
In a couple of weeks I think it's going to be roughly the same. I don't think the water level will start going down significantly until the middle of June — at the earliest.
By mid-July, it will probably be significantly lower.

I've been preparing our group for thigh high water. Granted I have no clue how deep the creek is or what the current is like, but I'm thrilled that it currently looks like this!

It was taken May 20, 2016
(or they were ... if you wanna be particular)
Might be about same for a couple of weeks... there's rocks all the way across.
Pretty tame crossing... but that's my opinion. I didn't want to cross. I can't stand that cold.

YNP put some trailhead pics on their faceybook page
Midweek opening of the pass didn't help this year's venture to the valley either
