Review:
Yosemite National Park in the Sierra Nevada mountains is an American icon, and, when it was first protected in 1864, was the first national park created in the world. Visiting Yosemite is on everyone's ‘bucket list' and is a one of a kind trip that no one should miss when visiting Northern California. This national park is famous for its giant sequoia trees,the spectacular view of Bridalveil Fall, the Tunnel View, and the granite cliffs Half Dome and El Capitan.
Additionally, the national park is well known for its raging rivers, ancient forests, towering mountains, wonderful hiking and biking trails and a chance to spend some time in this vast wilderness, alone with the nature where visitors can maybe even spot a bear, a deer or some other animal that makes the park its home.
There is also Yosemite Village with restaurants, shops, hotels, museums and galleries.
