Where am I going? I often know exactly where I am and where I want to go, but then look up and think, “How did I get here?” I trust my God, it’s my freewill I don’t trust. Or anyone else’s for that matter. When I’m in this place I feel like all I can think about is my God. I look at His creation and that’s all I can see. The clouds, the mountains, the brush, the cold, the snow, my wife. That last one is one of His finest creations. God help me to never take what You’ve created for granted. I don’t believe You made this so I could sit in a room and pray with my eyes closed. Thank You.

During a week long backpacking trip through the High Sierra Mountains in California, our first evening greeted us with an amazing scene of light streaming through the Minarets Pinnacles, a series of jagged rocks a part of The Ritter Range // follow my adventures on Instagram @jknepp

We were in June Lake for when Michaela had the great idea to try and capture the night sky. We opened up one of our apps that identifies the Milky Way, and we got excited when we saw it was behind the mountain outside our window. We immediately went to a spot where no cars really drive by, set up the tripod, and planned on taking an awesome timelapse. After the test shot finished up, we were disheartened with the clouded Milky Way. Rather than set up a timelapse, we settled for this photo that we grew to love. Life is beautiful, even when things don’t go how you plan.

The Sierra Nevada mountain range dominates the landscape between California and Nevada. On the eastern side of the range, you’ll find Mono Lake. This is a large, shallow soda lake that’s saltier than the ocean. Each year Mono Lake serves as an important resting stop for millions of migratory birds.

After a long hike up through rain, snow and 20 degree temperature, I didn’t know what to expect when we reached Upper Cathedral Lake in Yosemite National Park. The clouds seemed to be pulling to the north so I adjusted my position hoping to keep them in frame for sunset. As I waited, a group of hikers came up to admire the view. One of them stepped out on the rocks to take it all in and I was able to capture this reflective moment.

Once we got to the top of the Half Dome, I quickly found this spot and asked my wife to go to the edge of the cliff and pose there. I got a confident NO and had to switch roles. That rare case when I’m a model and my wife is a photographer. It played pretty well.

Before the first person climbed to the top of the Half Dome in 1875, it was considered impossible to do. And then a man named George Anderson made it all the way to the top by drilling into the rock so that he could anchor bolts along the way to help him climb. . A set of cables now line the last, almost-vertical four hundred feet of the trail, anchored into the same holes Anderson drilled in the 19th century. His climb has enabled many others to accomplish the same test of strength.

When we arrived at Inspiration Point midmorning, we were a bit disappointed that the smoke from the nearby wildfire was so thick that visibility was poor. However, as the day went on, the smoke lifted and the visibility improved.

Since we were hiking down from Inspiration Point, we needed to wait until the next morning to catch the shuttle up. So we spent the rest of our first day in the park exploring the valley. We got lucky with a beautiful sunset.

After throwing itself off a cliff a half mile upstream, the Merced river roars under this bridge and down into the gorge beneath Glacier Point. This was taken on a trip from early May 2017. I’ve never seen the water this high. It was absolute insanity. I feel like I have to turn the volume down just looking at this picture.

After an 11 mile hike in snowshoes and lugging a sled full of gear to the mountain top, we were finally rewarded with one of the most scenic views of Yosemite from an angle rarely seen in winter. A photo well worth the exhaustion!

Took this photo after waking up to a flat tire, at 4am on Christmas Eve. It was 14F (-10C) when I changed the tire, in complete darkness (well, I had a flashlight). I made it and was able to stop here for sunrise on my way to a garage shop.

We had just completed a strenuous hike, and all of us were so exhausted until we stumbled across deer in our path. They were just minding their business, not worried about us in anyway. I immediately snapped the photo of one of them crossing and continued to walk toward camp. It certainly was such a sweet moment!

We were looking to capture a foggy sunrise view of Half-Dome in Yosemite, but the weather wasn’t cooperating with us. The fog that did show up was low-lying and moving quickly through the trees like a ghostly river meandering through the canyon, swirling around the tallest trees in small eddies. Like too many forests, the valley is infested with borers, which has killed thousands of trees. The splash of golden trees mixed with the green is actually really beautiful, but a sad reminder of how fragile the forest is.

Just after sunrise we found this location in the center of the valley with a beautiful view of Yosemite Falls. Right now all the waterfalls are flowing from all the snow this winter. They should be flowing year round. Five of us friends took a one day road trip to make it for sunrise at Yosemite, slept during the day in our hammocks, and then shot sunset and night photos.

Decided to embark on a long over due trip to Yosemite National Park. Coming into the park the weather was slightly overcast and extremely foggy. There were some breaks in the fog and the views were breath taking until we came around the corner to this photo. All I could think is how lucky we are to live on such a planet. GOD has created such master pieces everywhere and I am so thankful to be able to absorb this all in and get a chance to show you all my creations.

We arrived in Yosemite around 6am. After catching the sunrising over Half Dome, we started exploring the valley floor. That’s when we came across two coyotes hopping around through a field, hunting for food. We began to approach them, and thankfully they didn’t notice. I was about ten feet away when they finally looked up and saw me. One ran, but the other took a slow turn and began to walk away. He looked back only for a brief moment before trotting off.

We headed straight for Glacier Point with only a few hours of daylight left. A breathtaking view of the Half Dome awaited us as the snowfall increased and the valley became a mystery of snow and cloud. I counted myself among the few people able to witness heaven kissing earth in this spectacular moment. Officials quickly shut down the road urging everyone to make their way back to the valley.
