Yosemite National Park, CA 95389
Valley View in Junction Yosemite National Park, California, offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore the stunning geological features of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. With iconic landmarks such as Yosemite Valley, Yosemite Falls, and Half Dome, this park is not only a natural wonder but also a significant site for studying the geological history of the region. From U-shaped valleys to granite domes and waterfalls, the landscape of Yosemite National Park is a testament to the forces of nature that have shaped it over millions of years.
Located within the heart of the Sierra Nevada, Valley View showcases the largest fault-block mountain range in the United States. With its long, gentle western slope and short, steep eastern escarpment, this asymmetric mountain range offers a diverse range of elevations, from near sea level to over 13,000 feet. The park's geology is characterized by the emplacement of granitic rocks in a subduction zone, followed by uplift, erosion, and glaciation, resulting in the breathtaking mountainous scenery that visitors can admire today.
