It's no secret that I'm in love with Yosemite.  Here's some of my favorite winter views in the park that are super easily accessible.

You wouldn't know it, but this was Mammoth in the summer.

Over the summer, I dragged Jesse and a few friends up north to the Eastern Sierras - an area I'd never done much exploration in until this summer.  I'd read about a hike called "20 Lakes Basin", a popular day hike off highway 120 just outside the northeastern gates of Yosemite National Park, that I was just dying to do.  So we loaded up our Jeep rental (with the worst gas mileage known to man) and headed to a secluded camp ground 15mins north of Lee Vining, CA.
