The background is dominated by El Capitan, an iconic granite monolith in Yosemite Valley. A single, puffy cloud enters the otherwise deep blue sky at left. Warm sunlight illuminates one of the mountain faces, but the rest of the scene is in cool shadow. Across the base of El Capitan are a row of huge evergreen trees, with a single splash of autumn color from a different tree. Further forward is a larger splash of autumn from bushes and a small tree. Further forward is a quiet, shallow section of the Merced River, with multiple dark rocks in it. In the foreground are wild grasses, framing a partial reflection of the illuminated face of El Capitan.
