hard to say because "most famous" is subjective. some valleys are well-known: silicon valley, san Fernando valley, great rift valley, death valley, yosemite valley, central valley, nile valley, napa valley, Rhine valley
In the 1800s, there was great controversy on whether Yosemite Valley was formed from water erosion, glaciation, or volcanic cataclysm. In the early 1900s, evidence for glaciation became overwhelming.

Great statement, but not a question. I can only guess what you want to know. Muir did go to Yosemite and worked with Teddy Roosevelt to make Yosemite a national park. There is a wonderful black and white photo of the two of them standing looking over the valley. Another person helping with showing how special Yosemite Valley is was Ansel Adams with his photos of the region.
Yosemite is named after the indigenous people who had lived on the land before they were driven out. L. H. Bunnell is credited with coining the name Yosemite Valley, which leads to the name "Yosemite" used today.
About 300-350. You can go through Merced and that may cut a few miles. This will take you through Mariposa ( a interesting place with a good museum and great shops) and from there you would drop to the Yosemite gate. Have lunch at the Awhanne.
