A View Of The Valley As The Sun Sets
El Capitan rises nearly 3600 feet above the floor of Yosemite Valley in Yosemite National Park. One of the largest exposed pieces of granite in the world, this behemoth attracts rock climbers from around the world. Everyone seeing Yosemite Valley for the first time is truly amazed at the enormous size of El Capitan as it dwarfs everything in its vicinity. But to be ready to gain a sense of scale, do not forget to bring your binoculars in order to spot the rock climbers. They appear as dots, tiny dots, moving along El Capitan's seemingly sheer surface.
This is one of our favorite views in all of Yosemite National Park. Looking across the Merced River and down Yosemite Valley. The river's water was low during this September visit. But the tall grasses on the near bank and low light on El Capitan made the visit worthwhile. I believe the rock spires on the right are the Cathedral Rocks.
