Yosemite National Park USA
Called “one of most beautiful places on earth,” by Theodore Roosevelt, Yosemite National Park embraces 1,200 square miles of scenic wild lands that preserve a portion of the central Sierra Nevada along eastern California. From 2,000 feet above sea level to more than 13,000 feet, Yosemite offers an alpine wilderness, three groves of Giant Sequoias and the glacially carved Yosemite Valley with impressive waterfalls, high cliffs and unusual rock formations.
Exploring Yosemite National Park. Hike, bike walk and wander through awe-inspiring mountain-and-valley scenery, wildlands, meadows, forests on 840 miles of trails and 12 miles of biking trails that give access to natural treasures. Highlights of Yosemite National Park include: Yosemite Valley; Wawona's history center; Mariposa Grove’s hundreds of ancient giant sequoias; Glacier Point's spectacular view of Yosemite Valley and the high country; Tuolumne Meadows, a large sub-alpine meadow surrounded by mountain peaks; and the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir. Towering rock walls line the narrow, forested, u-shaped Yosemite Canyon and tall picture perfect waterfalls cascade from the Yosemite heights. Discover Yosemite Falls – one of the world’s tallest – and Staircase Falls near Glacier Point.

back to topHiking & Climbing at Yosemite National Park. Yosemite Valley, 3,000 feet deep and a mile or two wide, is known for its landmark rock formations. A gigantic, granite monolith Half Dome is the most recognized symbol of Yosemite rising 4,000 feet above the Valley floor. The perpendicular face of Half Dome - one of America's "Big Walls" – is an extreme challenge for technical climbers.
Hike up the scenic trails to Glacier Point, perhaps the most famous viewpoint in Yosemite. A favorite for experienced rock climbers, El Capitan ascends almost 3,000 feet above the Valley floor and is the largest monolith of granite in the world. Hike to the top of Sentinel Rock or Yosemite Point for inspiring views of the entire Valley.
