Yosemite National Park - Yosemite Valley

Yosemite Valley is the heart of Yosemite National Park. It is also referred to as the "Uncomparable Valley." The valley is seven miles long and one-mile across and was formed 250,000 years ago by glacial erosion.

Today, the glacier shaped domes and countless waterfalls make every visit worthwhile.
