Clark Range, Sierra Nevada, Yosemite National Park, California, United States

Nestled in the heart of California's Sierra Nevada, Yosemite National Park, spans more than 310,000 hectares, cradling granite giants, cascading waterfalls and ancient sequoias.

Among its lesser-known treasures lies the Clark Range—the rugged, high-elevation spine seen in today's image.

It was named after Galen Clark, Yosemite's first guardian and a pioneer of conservation.
