Sunset over the Grand Staircase of the Merced River
Photo: Sunset light over Little Yosemite Valley, as seen from Glacier Point, Yosemite National Park, California
The full caption for this image should technically read:
This is the view from Glacier Point or Washburn Point, two great scenic vistas located at the end of Glacier Point Road in Yosemite National Park. This is the view southeast of Half Dome, looking over the Merced River Basin. The two waterfalls below are along the Mist Trail and John Muir Trail, with the lower waterfall being Vernal Fall, and the larger one is Nevada Fall. The two waterfalls and the climb up out of Yosemite Valley and the up to the crest of the Sierra mountains forms what's called the Grand Staircase of the Merced River. On this evening, a thunderstorm and a sky full of dark clouds parted just at sunset, allowing some beautiful light fall on the storm clouds above Little Yosemite Valley.
