Camping in Yosemite was great last week. We decided to drive the long way home, over Tioga Pass, and down 395 through Owens valley. Four hours into our trip home, I stopped to shoot this fire, we'd been seeing the interesting smoke clouds it made for a good 90 minutes reaching the fire.
Ten minutes after shooting these photos we reached the end of the road, the fire had burned across 395 and melted the asphalt, there was no alternate route, our choices were to drive through Las Vegas, NV, or back up 395, over the pass and through Yosemite.
