Yosemite National Park—beauty from every angle - nature photography - Brief Article

As Ansel Adams discovered, Yosemite National Park embraces a spectacular expanse of mountain-and-valley scenery in the Sierra Nevada, A nature photographer's dream, the park harbors a grand collection of waterfalls, meadows, and forests, including groves of giant sequoias, the world's largest living things.

Professional and amateur photographers alike are drawn to Yosemite Valley and its high cliffs and waterfalls; Wawona's historic hotel; the Mariposa Grove, which contains hundreds of ancient giant sequoias; Glacier Point's spectacular view of Yosemite Valley and the high country; Tuolumne Meadows, a large subalpine meadow surrounded by mountain peaks; and Hetch Hetchy, a reservoir in a valley considered a twin of Yosemite Valley.
