VERNAL FALLS, YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, CALIFORNIA 

 Conventional in outline, massive in its power, Vernal Falls, 317 feet high, gains not a small portion 

 of its charm from the rock-strewn path of its foaming waters below the precipice. Good horse trails 

 lead to points of vantage from which to view the main cataract and a lookout point is balanced on the 

 very brink, but to many the loveliest view is that of the rugged valley looking toward the cascade 

 projected against the mountain peaks that gave it birth.
