Cathedral Range

The Cathedral Range is a mountain range immediately to the South of Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite National Park. The range is an offshoot of the Sierra Nevada. It includes Cathedral Peak, Unicorn Peak, Eichorn Pinnacle, Echo Peaks, Echo Ridge, Matthes Crest, and Cockscomb. The mountains were formed by glaciers carving out the granite material. The tops of the peaks in the range were above the level of the highest glaciation, and are therefore un-eroded and distinctly spire-like. The range is named after Cathedral Peak, which resembles a cathedral spire.
