Of all our stunning national parks Yosemite vies for "Garden of Eden" status with its groves of giant sequoias, three-tiered waterfalls, monumental granite domes, mirror lakes and luscious valleys. This rimtop view of monolithic Half Dome and the astonishing array of surrounding peaks also shows the floor of Yosemite Valley 3,200 feet below.
