Three Brothers, Yosemite National Park

Figure 1. Three Brothers, Yosemite National Park.

Three Brothers is one of many striking rock formations in Yosemite Valley. It is named after three sons of Chief Tenaya.

This rock formation may be glimpsed from the road when visitors are driving a car. In most situations, it is obstructed by the trees and difficult to get a clean shot. Fortunately, there is a pullout without any sign after Cathedral Beach. You can park your car and walk through the trees and reach an open space to get a clear view of it.

This is one of the quiet sites in Yosemite Valley. Most visitors don't know this place and you will enjoy this place by yourself most of the time . You can get the reflection of the Three Brothers if the air and water are both calm. Cathedral Rocks can also be enjoyed here to the opposite direction.

While Yosemite Valley seems to be a place without secrets, it is not. Next time when you visit Yosemite Valley, try to explore and you may get a delightful surprise.
