Yosemite National Park

Watch Your Step....

This is not something you're likely to see these days in Yosemite National Park. These two ladies -- Kitty Tatch and a friend -- were photographed in the 1890s by George Fiske while they were dancing, or at least pretending to dance, on the overhanging rock at Glacier Point.

The original image was one of a number that the Yosemite Museum in the park recently donated to the Mariposa County Library’s Photo Heritage series. You can see the rest of the photographs at this site.
