View from Four Mile Trail, Yosemite Valley

This is a view of the opposite side of Yosemite Valley, CA during the early part of the hike up Four Mile Trail to Glacier Point. The prominent summit to the left is Eagle Peak (7,779-feet). Columbia Rock is to the right. Lost Arrow Spire is to the extreme right. Yosemite Falls, which has the potential to be a very dramatic presence during this hike, was almost completely dry. You can see it as the black smudge on the cliff-face to the far right. Imaged in July 2007.
