Description

Yosemite's El Capitan stands tall as a granite monolith, drawing both peregrine falcons and rock climbers to its north side. This iconic landscape element is the subject of the Yosemite Icon series, which gathers stunning photos and insider information to tell its story. El Capitan enchants with its sheer faces and bulk, yet it has plenty to say about the wildlife and plants that dwell on and around its 3500-foot-tall cliffs. The book delves into ancient magma and glaciers, as well as the ongoing human story unfolding at its base - and on its big walls. Replete with natural and human history, this slim volume is equally enjoyable both at home and on trails. It makes a great companion for outdoor adventures or a reminder of favorite features between visits.
