Valley of the Merced River        Images © Mark A. Chappell

This view, looking west from the Wawona road late on an Autumn afternoon, shows the Merced River valley threading through the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada.  California's Central Valley (with its agricultural haze), the Coast Ranges, the Bay Area, and eventually the Pacific Ocean lie to the west of Yosemite.
