McCarthy Album 09, Photograph 318

Title: McCarthy Album 09, Photograph 318
Description: Caption: "Glacier Point - Overhanging Rock," c. 1935. Grace McCarthy poses for a photograph at Glacier Point's iconic overhanging rock. Glacier Point, on the south wall of the valley 3,200 feet above what is now known as Half Dome Village, provides panoramic views of the valley and many of its features. By the time this photograph was taken, safety railings had been installed at the Point to prevent visitors from tumbling over the cliff while trying to get the best views.
