Possibly U.S. Cavalry exercises in Yosemite National Park

These photographs might be U.S. Cavalry Unit exercises in the Hetch Hetchy Valley, part of Yosemite National Park. While Hetch Hetchy today has a lake in this valley, the dam that created the lake wasn't wasn't begun to be built until 1914.
From 1890s until 1916, U.S. Cavalry units provided the protection of Yellowstone and Yosemite National Parks.
The setting suggests these were taken when Adeline and Lucian were on their trip west.
