Yosemite means grizzly bear, and
was probably the name of an Indian
chief. The troughlike valley walled
with sheer cliffs of enormous height,
and presenting to view within a com
paratively limited area the most aston
ishing features Of scenery known in
the world, excites feelings in the mind
of the observer which are mixture of
awe and admiration. The Yosemite IS
generally regarded by foreign visitors
to this country among our greatest
natural wonders
The reservation, as now officially out
lined, is thirty-two miles in width, from
east TO west. and forty miles long from
north to south. But the valley itself
is only six miles long by half a mile In
width. 1t is sunk just about enc mile
vertically below the general level of
the adjacent region, resembling a 81
gantic trough of irregular shape, hol-
lowed out In the mountains. Nearly
in the center of the State of California,
the Yosemite is 1916 miles from Gan
