Mark Petersen Yosemite Peaches

Mark Petersen is a fascinating man of adventure. He has traveled the world and first visited Yosemite National Park as a Boy Scout while backpacking through Hetch Hetchy. He loved the Sierra Nevada so much he decided to call it home many years later. Mark raised his daughters in the Yosemite area so they can share adventures together.

Mark shares many interesting tales of his journeys through Yosemite as well as how that first trip into Hetch Hetchy shaped his professional career. He also recounted the remarkable story of Cliffy Young, an Australian cattleman and farmer who is the source of great inspiration and admiration for him.

Mark was joined by his daughter Sarah, and I was accompanied by my daughter Mia on this adventure. This made for an extra sweet reward of peaches on the summit. We spent the day together on the Half Dome trail and met new friends from Japan who we assisted up the cables. Listen as they share a message to their friends at home.

The power of Yosemite National Park to inspire people from all over the world is unmistakeable. In my interview with Christine White Loberg, we learned about the inspiration she receives with every walk through Yosemite’s majestic landscape. Christine is a Yosemite National Park Ranger as well as a teaching staff photographer at the Ansel Adams Gallery in Yosemite. We walked around Yosemite Valley and wandered through the Ahwahnee Meadow on my visit with Christine. The broadcast of the Christine White Loberg Yosemite Peaches show was originally broadcast on air & streaming at KAAD-LP 103.5 FM Sonora, California.

Christine and I have shared many adventures in Yosemite National Park together. Her positive energy is infectious, and she truly is an inspiration to all who meet her. Her ability to find positives in every walk she takes in nature is an asset and she represents Yosemite National Park as an ambassador. Learn about Christine’s many adventures in the vast wilderness including her run in with a pair of mountain lions she encountered while hiking and photographing one day. She amazingly captured that moment with an image she titles “Sleeping Lions”.  You can view many ot images from Christine  on her Instagram Yosemite photography page.
