One of the joys of traveling to our national parks is indulging in the hobby of photography.

There are plenty of things to photograph in the national parks and that also includes photographing sunrises and sunsets.

Mother Nature Network has a photo article on ten best national parks for sunrises and sunsets.

The only national park I took any sunrise photos is not on their list: Yosemite National Park. As I was departing Yosemite last year, I stopped at Tunnel View to take a few pictures of the morning sunrise over Yosemite Valley. One of them is posted above.
