Yosemite Fall, which drops about 2,634 feet, is the subject here, seen from the grounds of Hutchings' hotel in Yosemite Valley, with a horseback excursion party in the foreground. The title's emphasis on the height reflects how 19th-century visitors measured the valley's wonders, and the horseback group reminds us that riding was the usual way to tour the valley's trails before roads and automobiles arrived. James Hutchings ran one of the valley's earliest tourist lodgings and promoted the region through his publications, so views like this one helped spread the valley's reputation across the country. Stereoviews such as this were made as paired images to be seen through a viewer, giving the scene a sense of depth.
