Thanks everyone for the compliments!

For most of my sunrise/sunset landscapes I take two exposures and blend them together in Photoshop. This helps even out the exposure between the bright sky and dark foregrounds.

Is there overnight parking at Agnew Meadows? I’m going to do the Agnew Meadows-1000 Island Lake Loop in a few weeks and looks like DP Natl Monument is closed, which is where I was going to park.

There IS overnight parking there, but the road is closed, with no prediction of if / when it will open this year. You'll likely have to park up at the top, then walk the road down to get to the trailhead.

@Andyw - they allow long-term parking in the furthest lots (definitely C, maybe B) by the Mammoth Adventure Center / lodge / ski area on Minaret Road. From there, you'll walk toward the Minaret Vista entrance station, then head down Reds Meadow road til you get to the Agnew trailhead.

The funny thing is that I didn't realize that a 2013 thread had been bumped, so I'm seeing 7/7 to 7/10, then looking at the Sentinel Hub satellite view and thinking: WTF? Then I realized the photos are 2013. Alas.

Yeah, I was looking at the shots at Iceberg Lk. and couldn't believe the lack of snow. It just didn't make sense.
If you don't know where you're going, then any path will get you there.
