After visiting Yosemite National Park a second time in July 2023, Tioga Road was open I then visited the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest to take a few photos. The mosquitos were relentless and I promised to retrieve a young man's iPhone if I came across it along the trail. I hiked in and found the iPhone but couldn't stay as long as I would have liked. I did however manage to capture this series of photos for a panorama. I dropped off the iPhone, which was on the way home. I am glad I could make that young man very happy again.
