My current dream trip would be to go through Yosemite, rock climb little, camp out, and enjoy the park. While I was hoping to get to that this summer, it isn’t looking likely. However, right now you can head over to the NYTimes and get some pictures/thoughts from someone who worked with Ansel Adams. Most of the shots are pretty amazing, and the commentary is good as well. Here is one I liked. Here is the article, and link to interactive bit.

You’re better off going in the off-season anyhow. February is perfect, maybe not for rock climbing but for snowshoeing or just hanging out. A small number of people camp in the valley floor, even in the snow, so you don’t feel isolated. But you do feel like you have big chunks of the park to yourself.
Here’s a neat link to John Muir’s suggestions for making the most of your Yosemite time:
