Pressed between sheer rock walls half a mile high, Yosemite Valley fol- lows a seven-mile gorge carved by glaciers and the Merced River. From hanging valleys high above the river spill many other spectacular falls, including Bridalveil, Ver- nal, Illilouette, Nevada, and Ribbon, which drops 1,612 feet, longest single fall on the continent. Yosemite became a na- tional park in 1890, a few days after nearby Sequoia attained park status.
