SynopsisHigh in the glacier-carved Sierra Nevada mountain range in California near the western edge of the North American continent, there is a place of incredible beauty and hearts solace called Yosemite Valley. There, waterfalls leap from the edges of cliffs into grassy meadows nourished by bubbling streams. The valley is overhung by natural masterpieces of weather-worn granite, including world-famous Half Dome and El Capitan. Above the timeless valley, the craggy peaks of the Sierra Nevada high country rise, liberally scattered with pristine alpine lakes, wildflower-strewn meadows, and rugged hiking trails that make you feel as if you are walking on the rooftop of the world. Both the high attitudes and the majestic panoramas will steal your breath away and make your blood course like a waterfall rushing with spring snowmelt. Author Sara Benson and Photographers Chris Falkenstein and Robert Holmes now the parks inside out and bring you: Favorite places to explore, from the popular hot spots to the remote backcountry. Recommendations on the best hikes, fishing, climbs, and other great activities. Stunning full-color photography with over 200 photos. Detailed, easy-to-use maps for getting around the park, hikes, and scenic drives. Background on the area's rich cultural and natural history.
