Yosemite marked the glorious finish to our family’s 6.200 mile, nine-park, 19 day trek from MN. It was the trip of a lifetime for all five of us. Rocky Mountain, Bryce, Grand Canyon North Rim, Zion, Death Valley, Sequoia, Kings Canyon, Golden Gate NP & Recreation, and Yosemite opened us to the grandeur and marvel that is OUR LAND!!!
Sincerely,
Yosemite National Park
With its sculpted granite rock formations, towering ancient sequoia trees and spectacular waterfalls, it's no wonder Yosemite is one of the most celebrated national parks in the world.
State(s): California
