"Yosemite Valley is known among experienced travelers as one of the great scenic wonders of the world. This deep glacial gorge is walled in by nearly perpendicular granite cliffs which rise three to four thousand feet above the pine forests and green meadows of the level valley floor. Five great waterfalls plunge from these lofty precipices, creating a display of falling water unsurpassed anywhere. Scenes of such amazing natural beauty attract visitors from every corner of the globe."
