Took some pictures of the breathtaking views from the Mist Trail, Sentinel Dome, Taft Point, Cook Meadow, Yosemite Falls, Sentinel Beach, and Mariposa Creek.
Tunnel View Overlook (Elevation 4,360ft / 1,329m)
Leidig Meadow (Elevation ~4,000ft / 1,219m)
Swinging Bridge (Merced River) and Upper Yosemite Falls (height = 1,430ft)
Upper (height = 1430 ft) and Lower (height = 320 ft) Yosemite Falls from Cook's Meadow.
Combining the heights of the Upper, Middle, and Lower sections results in a total height of 2,425 feet (approximately 728 meters).
To put this in perspective, it's ten times taller than Niagara Falls and equivalent in height to a towering 200-story building.
Taft Point (Elevation 7,700ft / 2,345m)
Glacier Point (Elevation 7,500ft / 2,285m)
Sentinel Dome (Elevation 8,127ft / 2,477m)
Vernal Falls (height = 317ft / 97m, elevation gain = 1,131ft)
For my upcoming trip to Yosemite, I've planned to visit several noteworthy places, and this VirtualYosemite provided an exciting preview of these attractions. They include the El Capitan Summit (at 7,573 feet or 2,308 meters), Mt. Watkins (at 8,500 feet or 2,591 meters), Half Dome (at 8,839 feet or 2,694 meters), Clouds Rest (at 9,931 feet or 3,027 meters) and many more.
