We will be shooting from about 7:30 p.m. to about 1:00 a.m.
The next morning after breakfast (9 a.m.) we will be heading up to the Whitney Portal trailhead to photograph the beautiful waterfalls.
It will be cooler up there at 8,000 feet. Bring a lunch or eat at the Whitney Portal Store. After lunch, we will explore the area for more interesting images or head back to your hotel room for a rest.
