YOSEMITE IN AUTUMN
OCTOBER 26 - 31, 2025
After Carlton Watkins first photographed Yosemite Valley in 1861, his images inspired the creation of the first federally protected land for preservation and public enjoyment.

Join Todd on this week-long exploration of this majestic landscape at a quieter time of year with exquisite light and accents of autumn color.
