About Yosemite National Park
Yosemite is a national park in California's Sierra Nevada, famous for granite cliffs, giant sequoias, high waterfalls and meadows below the peaks.
Yosemite National Park covers a wide stretch of the Sierra Nevada in California, with Yosemite Valley, carved by glaciers, at its heart. Sheer granite walls rise on either side of the Merced River: El Capitan, a favourite of rock climbers, and Half Dome, a rounded summit, tower above the valley floor. Yosemite Falls drops in several stages for a total of about 740 metres, among the tallest waterfalls in North America.
