Gateway
Black Mountains, Death Valley National Park. Death Valley isn't known for its slot canyons, but it has a few incredible ones. This is a self-portrait taken late on a spring afternoon. The walls are made from fanglomerate -- lithified gravel washed down from the mountains in floods. Suggested print sizes: 10x15, 16x24, 20x30, 24x36, 30x45, 40x60.
Reflected moon
Middle Fork San Joaquin River, Ansel Adams Wilderness. Thousand Island Lake -- also known as "Thousand Person Lake" due to its popularity in summer -- is infrequently visited in winter due to the difficulty in reaching it. Indeed on this two-day trip we saw no one. Watching the moon set along the Middle Fork of the San Joaquin River was worth donning frozen boots on this frosty morning. Suggested print sizes: 10x15, 16x24, 20x30, 24x36, 30x45, 40x60.
Banner Peak moonset
Fall morning
Cherry Creek, Emigrant Wilderness, California. The beginning of a bright fall day along Cherry Creek. Suggested print sizes: 10x15, 16x24, 20x30, 24x36, 30x45, 40x60.
Claw
Cherry Creek, Emigrant Wilderness, California. Accessing this remote waterfall requires at least a day of scrambling and bushwhacking. Along with the nearly mile-long water slide above it, it is a tremendous sight during high water in spring. Suggested print sizes: 10x15, 16x24, 20x30, 24x36, 30x45, 40x60.
Paradise
Near Cone Peak, Ventana Wilderness, California. Over 15 meters tall, this is one of the most beautiful waterfalls that I have visited in California. Access is via difficult and rather dangerous bushwhacking. Suggested print sizes: 12x12, 16x16, 20x20, 24x24, 30x30, 40x40.
Repose
Tassajara Creek, Ventana Wilderness, California. The deep pools along Tassajara Creek teem with crayfish, large fish, and western pond turtles. Suggested print sizes: 10x15, 16x24, 20x30, 24x36, 30x45, 40x60.
Hidden falls
Cherry Creek, Emigrant Wilderness, California. I had hiked near this remote, unnamed waterfall several times without noticing it. Exploring one evening from our camp site we came upon it unexpectedly. Even familiar places can hold unanticipated surprises. Suggested print sizes: 10x15, 16x24, 20x30, 24x36, 30x45, 40x60.
Sun fall
Mossbrae Falls, California. Much has been said about Mossbrae Falls, but it is even more stupendous than its reputation suggests. Suggested print sizes: 12x20, 30x50.
Meander
Near McCabe Lakes, Yosemite National Park, California. Traveling cross country, we spotted this meadow from a few miles away and detoured to explore. It did not disappoint. Suggested print sizes: 10x15, 16x24, 20x30, 24x36, 30x45, 40x60.
