Cathedral Spires in Fog

Detailed Description

In this image, Cathedral Spires can be seen shrouded in fog from Tunnel View in Yosemite National Park. From left to right, the peaks are known as Lower Cathedral Rock, Middle Cathedral Rock, and Higher Cathedral Rock. They are composed of granite and are part of the Sierra Nevada batholith. Like the rest of Yosemite Valley, they were carved by glaciers.
