Lonely Planet review for Yosemite Valley

This meadow-carpeted valley is 11km (7mi) long, bisected by the Merced River and hemmed in by some spectacular chunks of granite. The most famous are the monumental El Capitan (2307m/7569ft), one of the world's largest monoliths and a magnet for rock climbers, and Half Dome (2695m/8842ft), the park's spiritual centerpiece, whose rounded granite pate forms an unmistakable silhouette. For the classic photo op head up Hwy 41 to Tunnel View.
