Glacier Point Winter Panorama of Liberty Cap and Nevada Fall (1927)

A sweeping high-altitude winter panorama from Glacier Point across snow-covered pines toward Liberty Cap and distant Nevada Fall. — Glacier Point Winter Panorama of Liberty Cap and Nevada Fall (1927) · Donald A. Hall Estate Collection

Framed by snow-laden pine boughs in the foreground, Donald A. Hall Sr. photographed this expansive winter vista from Glacier Point overlooking the upper Merced River canyon. In the middle distance, the snow-dusted granite dome of Liberty Cap rises prominently above the pine forest beside the icy white plunge of Nevada Fall, backed by the frozen alpine crest of the Clark Range under a dramatic winter sky, recording the severe alpine conditions Hall traversed in 1927.
