In Yosemite Valley, be watching for open shade conditions, which you'll encounter a lot in the mornings and evenings. A strong warming filter may be good for these situations. In the high country, a polarizer can produce dramatic results, though one does need to be careful not to overdo the blue/black skies + white granite look. For the fun of it, visit the Ansel Adams Gallery, where you can compare his photos as reproduced in books, with the souvenir prints hanging on the wall, as well as The Real Things, and all under the same (very good) lighting conditions.
