This was my parents’ first visit to a National Park in USA! We went to Yosemite National Park in the month of April 2017 from Santa Clara, CA. We rented a cabin to stay for a night!

There is a grocery store, restaurant and restroom in the cabin area which makes the Park visit a comfortable experience.

State(s): California
Established: 1890
“I support national parks because they help us get out of the chaotic every day life and get connected with nature. I feel everyone should try visiting national parks more often, as they help us understand our mother nature and encourage us to protect our environment.”

Greetings from Yosemite National Park
The shadows of Half Dome gradually retreated from Yosemite Valley’s Curry Village as I reluctantly climbed out of my sleeping bag. It was 8 in the morning, and though my roommates and I weren’t lively, the nature around us was. Rubbing my eyes, I walked outside and nearly slipped on…
