Death Valley National Park has been on my list of magical places to visit for a long time. The time had finally come to book a hotel. Bags are packed and we are eager for another wondrous adventure.

There is something very spiritual about Yosemite's back country, and it should definitely be experienced often. However, some of the most incredible scenery can be captured right from the side of the road. I set out late one evening to capture star trails from one of Yosemite's epic locations: Tunnel View. It was ideal for night photography because I could set up my shot and stargaze while the shutter was firing. Keep in mind, the
