“Yosemite remains a place that sharpens the senses and reveals much. It shows us at our best and bravest, and spotlights so many ways we could do better. A place to feel humbled, because in some ways we’ll always be down on the Valley floor, small against scenery; a place to feel invigorated and wonder-struck, because in Yosemite we’re always looking up, dreaming.”
