Ansel Adams Gallery, Yosemite National Park

I like everything about this shop and have for more years than I can count. (have gone to Yosemite for over 70 years). The merchandise is of fine quality and unusual and in keeping with the natural ambiance of the park. It is by far the best place to buy jewelry in the valley. I much prefer it to the Ahwahnee's jewelry but they sometimes have nice things too. And of course there are Ansel's photographs for sale and to see. Going to this store is like going to a mini-museum. But the thing I like the BEST are the people who work there. Always there is someone who will really take an interest in helping you select a gift or a purchase. This time it was Carol -- who gave me time, attention and warmth. Jackie

the gallery is a bit small, and of course all the work is super expensive, but there are other odds and ends to buy, books, kids stuff, lots of beautiful but expensive dinner sets. for a photographer, you can find all types of film, and even diposable cameras cheaper than in the general store. they also have photo equipment, although i can imagine the cost.

I didn't go there to shop, just to view the gallery. They had a fair selection of artists and works, but I was hoping for more. This place is worth swinging into while you're in the village. Their disposal cameras are cheaper than in the Village Store.
