For a few days, I got to step away from the usual routine of being indoors and completely immerse myself in the outdoors. From the moment i arrived, i could tell the air was crisp, and the scenery was incredible. We only spent 4 or 5 days there as part of a camping group. It was so nice being able to sit by the fire after a long day of hiking and tell all kinds of stories. The open sky without any light pollution was superb. To this day, this is my most memorable trip to a national park. I don’t go to many parks often, but try to visit all other ones in Florida, when I can. I made alot of new friends at Yosemite and cant wait to plan my next trip there.
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.
