About fifteen miles uphill from the town of Catskill on the Hudson River, Kaaterskill creek drops
dramatically over a precipice and into a basin that forms a hidden pool, then falls again over a second tier before continuing to tumble a bit more gently down towards the Hudson River.
The commanding vista from Glacier Point, a 7,214 - foot / 2,199 - meter granite
precipice that
dramatically reaches out
over Yosemite Valley, takes in the park's most famous landmarks — Half Dome, Clouds Rest, Liberty Cap, Vernal and Nevada Falls, and the surrounding High Sierra.
