Yosemite Falls, seen from the Glacier Point Trail, is the subject here, and the stereograph's subject list also notes horseback riding, which suggests visitors on mounts were part of the scene at the time. Underwood & Underwood, a New York firm, issued stereo views like this one in large numbers around 1901, sold to households that viewed them through hand-held stereoscopes. Yosemite Valley, a glacier-carved gorge in the Sierra Nevada, had been set aside by Congress as a state grant in 1864 and drew steady tourist traffic by the turn of the century, when trails like this one carried riders up for views of the falls.
