Trees and streams        Images © Mark A. Chappell

These pictures show some of the forests in Yosemite Valley reflected in the still waters of the Merced River.   The droughts of 2006-2007 and 2011-2016 reduced stream flows throughout the park, leaving many quiet pools in the Merced's sometimes turbulent channel.
