  • Throughout the Sierra Nevada, high flat plateaus are found at elevations around twelve and thirteen thousand feet. These isolated sky islands are the home to unique plant communities that are found nowhere else. For an audio described version of this video, go to • Yosemite Nature Notes ... .

    This is some of the most beautiful Yosemite footage I have ever seen, and in an area that many will never climb to see for themselves. Really well filmed and edited and I am sure everyone that watches these "nature notes" episodes can't wait till the next one like myself! I was just in Yosemite all last week, and the park is just stunning and it seems to get even more special every time I visit.

    Woah. This was beautiful. REALLY well done.
    If you've never spent time on the High Sierra's....go. As soon as you can and as often as you can. It's a paradise (that also has the capacity to bite you in the ass if you aren't prepared).

    How can anyone give this a thumbs Down. Go away. Thanks Dena Grossenbacher and Alison Colwell for showing us and taking care of these gems, and thanks also to Josh Helling for this beautiful video.

    Being anywhere is Yosemite is like being a child again: everything you see is new, seen for the first time. Fantastic that the NPS is producing videos like this one. My daughter is a botanist, so I'll be sending the link to this video at once. :-)

    I would never have guessed that such beauty exists amid all that rock! This is an amazing video, as are all that I've seen of Yosemite. Thanks for providing this service to those of us who may never be able to visit there.

    Such Beautiful Islands in the Sky... on top of the Mountains at about 12 thousand feet. These amazing and large assortment or species flowers which range about 100 different types. Now, from looking up into the mountains, all you see with your naked eye's is Rock and solid Rock. But when you hike up, you discover a over whelming bunches of Flowers that you would not be able to " know discover " until you go beyond what you just see. These discovery Flowers are brilliant in color and exist in a high cold and windy environment. The diversities are of all kinds and they co-exist in bunches and though they area each different, they dwell together almost side by side. So, extreme So, amazing So, unbelievable So, sensational - that it seems that these Special Chosen Delicate Flowers are not just rare; but Treasure Flowers. Because, they Survive above and beyond all other Flowers and they Germinate in severe conditions and weather. I call them - " Treasure Life Flowers "... If these Flowers which are way beyond our reach and unknown to the public and Grow on there own without any help from anybody; ... I find this to be a Heavenly Garden sanction by God alone. May we Gather Ourselves in Heart and learn from these Gorgeous and Lovely Flowers that are beyond our reach - that survive without our assistance, and they Rely Upon their Maker and Creator..... Matthew 7:24-29
