Kinda looks like part of the Grand Canyon to me, but then, most of the Rockies looks a lot like that, so it could be Colorado... or any one of a half-dozen other states.

Taft Point at Yosemite Park. I think it is about 3000 feet straight down.
From one website: Hazards: The dropoff at Taft Point is steep, and a fall would be not just fatal, but squish-you-like-a-bug fatal. The fall is so far that your friends, waving their teary goodbyes and hoping you didn't have the only set of car keys, would lose sight of you before you reached the ground. So be careful.
They would lose sight of you... that rocks!

Sweet. I never made it to Yosemite when I lived in Cali. Looks pretty awesome, and certainly on a similar scale to the Grand Canyon if it's 3,000 feet to the bottom.

Top to bottom maybe, but it is not nearly as wide, and no where near as long... Amazing none the less.Tsukiyumi wrote:Sweet. I never made it to Yosemite when I lived in Cali. Looks pretty awesome, and certainly on a similar scale to the Grand Canyon if it's 3,000 feet to the bottom.

Great photo!
I don't think I could bring myself to get that close to the edge...
