Yosemite Backpacking Trip Day 1 - Tuolumne Meadows to Vogelsang | Travel Photography

During this travel photography video we start our back country trip in Yosemite National Park by going from Tuolumne Meadows to Vogelsang via the Rafferty Creek Trailhead. Sign up for our free Ebook for tips on capturing the best images of your life. http://photographytv.com/ebook Before we get to Tuolumne Meadows we try to hitch hike out of Yosemite Valley, but end up taking the shuttle up instead. We hike about 7 miles on this first day of our trip and see some incredible scenery for some great landscape photographs. The hike is very challenging since we probably didn't prepare as much as we should have for the uphill climbs and high elevation. We spend the night at an empty Vogelsang High Sierra Camp since the camp is not yet open for the season. Great views, great hiking, and a great experience. Stay tuned to see where in the world we will go next.
