Cathedral Range
The
Cathedral Range is a range of
mountains 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.
