I took several photos during my trip to Yosemite National Park last weekend that I plan to submit to Backpacker Magazine for their annual photo contest. The sweeping vistas of El Capitan and Half Dome have long inspired photographers and I hope to capture the raw beauty and scale of the iconic rock formations. With any luck, one of my landscape shots that showcases the grandeur of Yosemite Valley will be selected as a winner and featured in an upcoming issue.
