Things to do in Yosemite National Park
Established in 1890, Yosemite National Park is one of the most beautiful parks in America – a landscape untouched and unspoiled since before the arrival of European settlers. Located in the Sierra West mountain range of Central California, the park is over 700,000 acres (2,832 km2).
The best part of the park is its variety of natural wonders. The old-growth forest has giant redwood trees. The bare, stone peaks and cliffs are so lofty and dramatic that their names, e.g. El Capitan and Half Dome, are famous among photographers, climbers, hikers, and artists.
Explore the picturesque lakes and rivers which feed Yosemite’s most spectacular feature: the waterfalls. If you get the chance, don’t miss Vernal, Nevada, and Yosemite waterfalls, which tumble from rock platforms and plume from great heights into the valley. The views from Glacier Point and Tunnel View are also absolutely spectacular.
Visitors will be sure to encounter a wide variety of wildlife on a day trip. You might see deer, eagles, marmots, and bears on quieter walking tracks. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a place you’ll never forget, and one you’ll want to return to.
