El Capitan

Yosemite National Park, California

The 3,000’ vertical granite monolith known as El Capitan rises high above Yosemite Valley and a lone ponderosa pine.  Favored by climbers, El Capitan typically takes a few days to summit, requiring camping on its sheer cliff face.  Often visible are the contrails of aircraft on their way to the San Francisco bay area 150 miles away.
