One of my favorite regions in Washington state is the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. Now that the snow has melted in late spring, I’ve been making several trips to the area throughout the summer and fall to enjoy the outdoors.

From our late night at Cape Flattery, we (my daughter, her roommate, and myself) started our trip east. Along the way to our next destination, we visited the Lake Crescent Lodge, where we had coffee with a view. It was late afternoon when we arrived at the Hurricane Ridge Visitors Center.

I broke my collection of black and white photos of Yosemite into several themes. This week, I’m sharing views from Yosemite Valley. Enjoy! Additional blog posts from this visit to Yosemite…
