Yosemite Park has put up a new blog post about the Cathedral Range, which is one of Project Yosemite’s favorite spots.
The Cathedral Range is an offshoot of the Sierra Nevada mountain range just south of Tuolumne Meadows inside Yosemite National Park. The granite foundations of the range were sculpted during the Pleistocene by glaciation, while the peaks – which were above the highest glaciation – remained untouched. The lack of glaciation gives the peaks a “spire-like” appearance. The range is named after Cathedral Peak, which rises 10,916 feet above sea level.
Project Yosemite is a collaboration by Sheldon Neill and Colin Delehanty, who have “teamed up to film Yosemite National Park like never before.” Their most EXCELLENT first film “Yosemite HD” is a must see. Links below.
