A little more strenuous hike for some of these photos.  A 800 foot descent over 1.5 miles, which of course meant an 800 climb back out when we were done.  Definitely worth it.  Ansel Adams I am not, but thanks to Adobe Lightroom I can apply some of the same effects to my photos as you can see in the black and white shots.  Not sure if that makes things better or worse, but they are there all the same.
