We were able to make Yosemite a stop on our California trip and it was fantastic. We were able to show our children the beauty of true, unspoiled nature and its many beautiful features. They have a renewed appreciation for wild lands.
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.
