Yosemite National Park, California
Yosemite is one of the most sought-after gems in America’s crown of national parks and the leading destination for a US adventure vacation. You’ll find miles upon miles of pure, unadulterated natural beauty in every direction you look.
Mountains, waterfalls, forests…you can find it all within the boundaries of this mighty National Park. One of its many stand-out features is its gigantic waterfalls. The park is home to 5 whopping waterfalls over 1000ft high.
When the mountain snow begins to melt in the spring, the cascades are at full blast, making this the perfect time to seek them out. The appropriately named Mist Trail caters to all levels of adventurers because there are many sights worth seeing all along.
Unlike many other Yosemite hikes, which lead to a lookout point, the Mist Trail has stunning views the entire time you explore it.
You can hike a mile round trip to Nevada Falls, a 594-foot-high waterfall on the Merced River, or take a three-mile round-trip hike to Vernal Falls, a 317-foot-high waterfall on the Merced River slightly downstream.
Waterfalls collapse over jagged cliff faces all along the walk, that’s challenging but not too tough. This US adventure vacation spot is accessible to virtually everyone.
