    A capitan is defined as an officer of the army who holds the rank of captain. El Capitan is located in the Yosemite Valley and Yosemite National Park. These are both located in the state of California in the United States of America.

    El Capitan is a vertical rock formation. It stands at an elevation of about 3, 000 feet. It is extremely popular with rock climbers. The name of the rock formation, El Capitan, is derived from the Native American name To-to-kon. This was, in turn, named after To-to-kon, a Pauite chief. Pauite is the name of an American Indian tribe that lived in the area.

    It is located in the Sierra Nevada range of mountains. Climbers can reach the peak of El Capitan by hiking out of Yosemite Valley and then taking the trail located next to Yosemite Falls, before proceeding in the western direction. Hiking is the easiest way to et to the top of El Capitan.
