10Yosemite National Park
No list of the most beautiful national parks would be complete without Yosemite National Park. Located in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains, Yosemite is renowned for its towering granite cliffs, plunging waterfalls, and ancient sequoias. The park’s most iconic landmarks include El Capitan, a 3,000-foot vertical rock formation that challenges climbers from around the world, and Half Dome, a distinctive granite peak that rises over 8,800 feet. During the spring and early summer, Yosemite’s waterfalls, such as Yosemite Falls and Bridalveil Fall, cascade down the cliffs in spectacular displays. The lush meadows, serene rivers, and awe-inspiring vistas make Yosemite one of the most breathtaking places on Earth.
