 Dramatic waterfalls, massive granite domes, and towering cliffs flank a broad, glacially-carved valley to form the backdrop of one of America’s scenic masterpieces. Nature’s perfection belies the staggering forces of fire and ice that created the Yosemite. Cloaked more recently in alpine meadows, pristine lakes and old-growth forests, Yosemite stands out as a splendid jewel, even in its magnificent setting of California’s Sierra Nevada mountains. Here the ancient and the new are woven together in a tapestry of awe-inspiring beauty, one which has captivated the hearts of writers, photographers, naturalists and tourists for over a century.
"Every rock in its walls seems to glow with life … as if into this one mountain mansion Nature had gathered all its choicest treasures." – John Muir
