I love summits, but I might like canyons and valleys even more. I know of a few, but there have to be more Yosemite-esque valley around the world (ya, none are quite like "The Valley" but you get the idea).
Here are some beauties off the top of my head:
Kings Canyon
Tehipite Valley
Hetch Hetchy
Little Yosemite Valley
Cochamo
Keketuohai Geological National Park (China)
Zion (not glacial or granite, but beautiful and U-shaped!)
andringitra national park (madagascar)
What else? There's got to be other inspiring valleys to climb in, it's a big planet!

Headwall Creek.
Klite Creek.
Neighbouring valleys near Powell River. Plenty more there. BK says the rock sucks or it's too bushy or something.

I knew the Canadian Rockies had to have some beauties hiding away.
Karavshin valley looks unreal!
Oh ya, almost forgot the Lauterbrunnen Valley in the Swiss Alps

The Great Gorge, Alaska
Only a mile wide and a mile deep
You could put Yosemite in this valley and have room to spare

Thanks Limpingcrab. Yes,I took it a few days after the shut down ended last October. Hardly anybody in the park then. I felt like I had the place all to my greedy self. ;^)

Just back from this sweet Yosemite knock off. Plenty more to do, if you don't mind a little vertical jungle!
