Yosemite Valley
Where?
California
Why?
Yosemite Valley has been under protection since 1864, Which, by the way, was one year before the Civil War ended. This valley is known for its waterfalls, and many visitors descend on this park to explore the torrential waters that fall over the rocks. Visitors can explore the Yosemite National Park’s 1,200 square miles, and they will find lush meadows, giant sequoias, and undiscovered wildlife in the High Sierra region.
Things To See And Do:
- Here’s where you’ll find the earth’s biggest single piece of granite from El Capitan Meadow. Grab your binoculars, and watch the climbers inch their way up The Nose.
- Relax as you float lightly down the lazy Merced River.
- Lunch at The Ahwahnee Dining Room. It has enormous picture windows framed by heavy draperies that let in views of Yosemite Valley.
