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.

Talus Flows in Yosemite Valley
Through breaks in the trees, talus deposits may be seen along the valley walls of Yosemite Valley. Talus deposits, also known as scree, are collections of broken rock fragments that have accumulated over time as rock weathers and breaks off from the cliffs above. This process can occur via various mechanisms, including ice, topographic stress, and plants.
