Cathedral Range
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the mountain range in Yosemite National Park. For the mountain range in Australia, see Cathedral Range (Victoria).
The Cathedral Range is a mountain range immediately to the South of Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite National Park, USA. It is a beautiful range, sculpted by glaciers out of granite. The tops of the peaks in the range were above the level of the highest glaciation, and are therefore uneroded and spire-like. The range is named after Cathedral Peak, which is shaped like a cathedral, because of this differential erosion.
