Yosemite Valley at Yosemite National Park, California
Taken on May. 12, 2013
Yosemite National Park is one of the most iconic landscapes within the Sierra Nevada ecoregion. This scenery is typical of the higher elevations in this region; the valley here is just below 4,000ft (1,220m) and is covered in coniferous forest, with the higher elevations reaching into the subalpine zone. Most of the region is not quite as rugged as pictured here.
