Yosemite National Park is a vast protected wilderness in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains, famous for its giant, ancient sequoia trees and dramatic granite cliffs. The park's centerpiece is Yosemite Valley, where iconic landmarks like the sheer rock face of El Capitan and the massive granite dome of Half Dome tower over the landscape. Yosemite Falls, one of the tallest waterfalls in North America, provides a spectacular display of nature's power, especially during the spring snowmelt. The park was central to the development of the national park idea, largely thanks to the efforts of naturalists like John Muir. With over 750 miles of trails, it is a paradise for hikers, climbers, and photographers seeking pristine alpine scenery. Its diverse ecosystems support a wide array of wildlife.
