Cathedral Peak

Cathedral Peak Portrait – Year of Yosemite (YOY) – Day 200

Cathedral Peak from Sentinel Dome

Using a telephoto setting on my Canon PowerShot SX50 HS (Bridge Camera), I was able to take a “portrait” of Cathedral Peak from across Tuolumne Meadows. It doesn’t look quite as dramatic in this picture as the colors are muted because of the amount of atmosphere between the lens and the subject, the color of the light, copious snow cover, etc.

The picture above does provide a different look into the “character” of the peak and the overall topography.

Cathedral Peak and Tuolumne Meadows from Sentinel Dome

Among the numerous and varied mountains in Yosemite National Park, a few have gained prominence because of their special location, shape or challenge to conquerors. Cathedral Peak is one such recognizable pinnacle.

The picture above was taken from the top of Sentinel Dome and shows the stretch across Tuolumne Meadows including the river. Cathedral Peak, like Sentinel Dome, stands as figurative sentries keeping watch over the expanse.

Cathedral Peak is open to mountain climbers and it stands as a challenge to those who enjoy that sport. An interesting picture of one such adventurer can be seen HERE.

Year of Yosemite (YOY) – Day 110 (Cathedral Peak from Lembert Dome)

Cathedral Peak, Yosemite 

Cathedral Peak photographed from the top of Lembert Dome

While standing atop Lembert Dome and admiring the panorama, one mountain stood out above all because of the somewhat unique formation pictured above. Cathedral Peak is one of the Tuolumne Meadows “All Stars”.

The picture was taken with my Canon PowerShot SX50 HS which has quite a reach and from a long distance away. Cutting through that much atmosphere does affect the image negatively, but the view is still impressive.

Cathedral Peak - Yosemite National parkCathedral Peak photographed from Lembert Dome

After hiking to the very top of Lembert Dome, the panorama was spectacular. Standing out among the beautiful scene before me, however, was a distant Cathedral Peak with pockets of snow.
