Yosemite,  Inspiration Point,
Yosemite,   Inspiration Point,		Here's what Lafayette Bunnell, one of the first non-Indians to see Yosemite Valley from Inspiration Point said when he first saw it,  "The grandeur of the scene was but softened by the haze that hung over the valley, light as gossamer, and by the clouds which partially dimmed the higher cliffs and mountains. This obscurity of vision but increased the awe with which I beheld it, and as I looked, a peculiar exalted sensation seemed to fill my whole being, and I found my eyes in tears with emotion."
Indians on the Inspiration Point Trail, Yosemite, Frederick Ferdinand Schafer
Yosemite Valley, winter, from Inspiration Point, Ansel Adams,
Yosemite Valley (from Inspiration Point), Thomas Hill
