Dr Kim Biel, an art history professor at Stanford University hiked fifty miles and climbed 10,000 feet to stand in a spot a rarely seen Adams image was taken. It’s a great story and worth finding if you have access to the NYT.

Thanks, Matt! I didn’t add the link because I know the Times blocks access to some articles. It’s well worth reading.
