Trail along Illilouette Creek past Mount Starr King. A trail of dirt extends surrounded by yellowy green manzanita growth. Scattered pines stick out of it as it slopes downward toward a valley. A slope of light rock slopes up the other side with a bit more pines scattered among it and a few peaks can be seen in the distance above the valley tops.

Illilouette Fall from a lookout just off the trail. A granite gorge extends from the viewer with a waterfall tumbling over the right hand side. The gorge eventually opens up to a larger valley with a lump of rough granite topped with a smooth, white granite dome. Everything else is steep granite slopes from the valley to more granite tops with a bit of green in between.

Yosemite Valley panorama from Panorama Point. A green and apparently flat valley sits wide below the rising granite sides. The valley opens to the left, to the viewer, and away to the right. The slope between the viewer and right opening is rough topped with a smooth dome. The far slope has a huge blind arch (Royal Arch) fallen out of it. The slope to the left is rough at the top and smooth at the bottom.

Vernal Fall from the soggy section of John Muir Trail, blasted out of the cliffs and shedding some of its rock railing and bottom at the moment. Water of the Merced River tumbles down a long slope, first in a vertical drop, then curving outward toward the much lower valley floor below it. Trees fill the space top and bottom, but none in the middle on the slope. Behind, a big dome of bare granite rises. Behind that on the left, the even larger dome of Half Dome Rises and glares in the morning sun. Further behind on the right is an apparently smaller but wider lump of granite that is Cloud Rest.
