Fig. 1Half Dome from Glacier Point country

Landform

A glacially carved granite valley. Sheer batholith walls, hanging waterfalls, and a U-shaped meadow floor.

Field note

Half Dome is a granite monolith sheared by glaciers. El Capitan, Bridalveil Fall, and the Merced River share one compact valley — a textbook of alpine glaciation.
