Greetings from Yosemite National Park

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! Yosemite National Park is one of the most beautiful national parks I have ever seen. Also the park is very well maintained with buses taking visitors from one point to another. There is a grocery store, restaurant and restroom in the cabin area which makes the Park visit a comfortable experience.

Sincerely,
Rohan

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

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.”

National parks represent the best of America. Why do you care about protecting and preserving them? Tell us why parks matter to you!
