Another summer come and gone—but thanks to our wonderful social media fans, you can relive the season whenever you want! For the second year in a row, we asked our Instagram followers to post their #MySierraSummer photos, and we’re sharing a few of our favorites, from Yosemite and beyond. Scroll through their shots, and imagine yourself…

…admiring late-summer wildflowers in Tuolumne Meadows

…rafting on the Merced River, with granite walls rising high overhead

…dipping your toes in brisk snow-fed water in the high country

…standing at Olmsted Point after dark, watching the Starr King Fire blaze in the distance
