Rising 3590 feet (1094 m) from the base to the summit, El Capitan is the magnificent landmark of Yosemite National Park.
This imposing granite monolith is near the western end of Yosemite Valley.
El Capitan is known as one of the world's top destination for intrepid climbers.
Park your car at the pullout on the road, and look for the climbers.
Without binoculars they will look like tiny specs during daytime.
At night you may see the climbers' headlamps twinkling high above on the rock.
