Yosemite National Park is one of the United States' most renowned national parks, located within the majestic Sierra Nevada Mountain range. The 1,200-square-mile park is mostly protected as wilderness, known for its giant ancient sequoia trees, some of which are millennia old. Most park activities are contained within an eight-square-mile area within the Yosemite Valley, which is home to stunning landmarks like the granite cliffs of El Capitan and Half Dome. Visitors can also trek to iconic Bridalveil Fall at Tunnel View or backpack within the expansive Yosemite Wilderness with backcountry permits. In lovely Yosemite Village, visitors can learn about the region's history and ecology at the Yosemite Museum or view prints by the renowned photographer at the Ansel Adams Gallery.
