El Capitan

Photo by Alexa Goldman

El Capitan, the world's largest granite monolith, enchants thousands of Yosemite visitors every month. This spectacular rock face is best seen from the far west end of Yosemite Valley. El Capitan and Bridalveil Fall paint a calming picturesque setting, ensuring one pauses to enjoy the beauty of it all.
El Capitan rises up 3,000 feet from the valley and thrills rock climbers from around the world. Here in this impressive setting, climbers experience a grand feeling of accomplishment as they are dwarfed by the immense El Capitan.
