Columbia Finger, Rock (Tuolumne Meadows, Tenaya Lake, Yosemite, Yosemite Valley)
(Long, Lat)
Description:
"Columbi" has been used since the founding of the country as a poetic and patriotic name for the United States-derived from Christopher Columbus. It is not known who named either of these features,. Columbia Finger was named on Lt. McClure's maps o0f 1895 and 1906. "... Columbia Rock, a bold bluff of the solid wall..." (Article by John Conway, Mariposa Gazette, April 27, 1878) Conway built the trail to the top of Yosemite Fall in 1873; the feature probably was named then. (YNP)
