Yosemite Valley 3D terrain model

About this model

A glacier-carved valley in California’s Sierra Nevada, walled by granite cliffs such as El Capitan and Half Dome that rise around a kilometre above the valley floor. Tight framing keeps every cliff crisp.

The frame is 12 km across, centred on 37.7398° N, 119.5900° W. Open it in the editor to change the style, exaggerate the height, turn it into a circle, or move the frame — then download it for your 3D printer, as a poster or as a 360° video.

Measured on the same elevation grid as the model (Terrain Tiles, AWS Open Data). Summit heights can read a little lower than surveyed ones because each sample averages a small area.
