How do you plan your trip to Yosemite? Which hike should you do? Which trail is the best? What climbs should be on your tick list? Should you go to the Mariposa Grove or the Tuolumne Grove on your day off? And the perennial "Is it worth it?"

Now that it's been three years since I bought my first digital camera, I think I might have enough photos to answer the question for at least a few trails and climbing routes. I'm not a photographer, per se, and my pics are nothing like Tuan's Yosemite Photos (Tuan is hands down the best photographer I know), but hopefully they will give some good illustrations so you can plan your trip.
