I took this photograph at Taft Point in Yosemite National Park. Turn Left off Wawona Rd on to Glacier Point Rd. Make your way up the winding road till you arrive at the Sentinel Dome parking lot. Locate the Sentinel Dome Trailhead and make a left onto Pohono Trail. You’ll now will have a 1.1 mile hike through a beautiful forest to Taft Point. I stood a bit east of Taft Point for this view.
