The Three Brothers are one of Yosemite Valley's most iconic rock formations. Rising dramatically over 3,700 feet above the valley floor, they consist of three steep granite peaks: Eagle Peak (the highest), Middle Brother, and Lower Brother, named after Chief Tenaya's sons.
That winter morning after a fresh snowfall, we hiked down to the Merced River and were rewarded with this stunning reflection. The peaks were covered in fresh powder, their blue-tinted shadows contrasting beautifully against the calm water, framed by frosted cottonwoods and snow-dusted evergreens along the riverbank.
This photograph captures that special winter moment when fresh powder, granite, and still water aligned perfectly. Bring this Yosemite beauty straight into your space so you can enjoy it all year.
