	Yosemite Valley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Yosemite Park is a place of rest, a refuge from the roar and dust and weary, nervous, wasting work of the lowlands, in which one gains the advantages of both solitude and society.
		The features in Yosemite Valley are made of granitic rock that was emplaced as plutons miles deep during the late Cretaceous.
		The glaciers widened the valley, but much of its width is in fact due to previous stream erosion and mass wasting along vertical joints in the valley's walls.
