Did you spot the shooting star photobombing this iconic shot? Night or day, Yosemite National Park is widely considered one of the most spectacular natural places in the United States. Though it covers a vast swath of surrounding mountains and forests, most visitors spend the bulk of their visit in the Yosemite Valley, a portion of which is featured in our image. Here in the valley, the Merced River flows below two of the most renowned sites in Yosemite: El Capitan and Half Dome.
