Sweeping Overlook of Upper and Lower Yosemite Falls (1927)

A distant high-altitude view across Yosemite Valley capturing Upper and Lower Yosemite Falls plunging down towering north wall cliffs. — Sweeping Overlook of Upper and Lower Yosemite Falls (1927) · Donald A. Hall Estate Collection

Captured from a high-altitude overlook along the valley rim, Donald A. Hall Sr. framed this expansive landscape study of Yosemite Falls. The panoramic exposure encompasses both the 1,430-foot Upper Fall and the 320-foot Lower Fall as they cascade through the immense granite buttresses of the valley's north wall, set above dense conifer forests on the valley floor, illustrating the breathtaking geological scale of Yosemite National Park.
