Yosemite
National Park
Yosemite National Park, one of the
first wilderness parks in the United
States, is best known for its
waterfalls, but within its nearly
1,200 square miles, you can find
deep valleys, grand meadows, ancient
giant sequoias, a vast wilderness
area, and much more. Highlights of
the park include Yosemite Valley
(pictured), and its high cliffs and
waterfalls; Wawona's history center
and historic hotel; the Mariposa
Grove, which contains hundreds of
ancient giant sequoias; Glacier
Point's spectacular view of Yosemite
Valley and the high country;
Tuolumne Meadows, a large subalpine
meadow surrounded by mountain peaks;
and Hetch Hetchy, a reservoir in a
valley considered a twin of Yosemite
Valley. Pack your bags and follow
scenic Hwy. 120 and celebrate
Yosemite's 120th anniversary of
being a National Park! Plan your
