Watch Your Step: Views from Glacier Point Above Yosemite

Outside of the Grand Canyon, perhaps no American vista stuns quite like the view from above California’s majestic Yosemite National Park. The woman above is posing at Glacier Point, a viewpoint about 2,200 m (7,215 ft) above the valley floor. That giant piece of granite in the distance is Yosemite’s famous Half Dome.

Yosemite National Park was established in 1890 and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984. Over 3.7 million people visit the park each year.
