Product Description

Yosemite, the US's third National Park and more recently a World Heritage Site, is also one of the most popular National Parks in the USA, with over four million visitors per year. From the floor of the half-mile-wide main valley featured in this model rise a number of impressive formations: Yosemite Falls' 2400' three-stage waterfall, El Capitan's sheer 3300' cliff face, Royal Arches, and Half Dome, which rises 4700' from the valley floor at an impossibly steep angle. Bridalveil Fall, a picturesque 600' waterfall, originates from a ravine that has already fallen 2000' before plunging to the rocks on the valley floor, but then becomes a wide stream braiding through the forest before reaching the Merced River. One of my favorite places on Earth, Glacier Point, offers a panoramic view over the main valley some 3200' below. Follow the Mist Trail out the East end of the valley, past Sierra Point and Grizzly Peak, past Vernal Fall and Emerald Pool, to Liberty Cap---another impressive granite dome---and the beginning of Little Yosemite Valley. All of these features come to life in an accurate, three-dimensional map that you can hold in your hands.

This piece, centered on the main valley, includes all of the aforementioned sites plus over 70 square miles of glacially-carved granite-filled landscape. We hope that, as you run your fingers across this impressive terrain, you will find lonely sharp peaks and hidden valleys not featured on flat maps, and be inspired to seek them out in person.

TinyMtn models are most affordable in the "Sandstone" and "White Strong and Flexible" materials. This model is in "Sandstone," which is a glued gypsum material. When you receive the model it will be ready for display, though it may smell funny and need some time to air out. "Sandstone" models are much more brittle than "White Strong and Flexible" models, but feel more like light stone. Do not soak it in water, though you can safely seal it with Polycrylic or a similar water-based clear spray sealant. Read more about this popular material here.

These models have been optimized for the above materials, and are not offered in other materials for strength or cost reasons. If you need one in another material, please contact us and we'll try to accommodate your request.
