Be sure to pack a headlamp for the evening program; the spring night sky offers incomparable views of the Milky Way. Your guide, professional photographer and naturalist Josh Helling, will share tips and techniques for producing jaw-dropping images of this remarkable landscape. You’ll meet fellow Yosemite-lovers and end the trip with new photos AND new friends.
