Yosemite Valley's "Gateway" is the Cathedral Rocks to the south and El Capitan to the north. This view was taken from the Four Mile Trail looking westward about 300 meters (1000 feet) above the valley floor. During the winter, the Four Mile Trail is often closed due to snow, but this winter of 2014, California is in the middle of a drought. We hiked 1.5 miles up the trail, but got this image after about 1 mile. If ordering this image, choose a 2:1 format.
Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story!
