10Yosemite National Park
Arguably one of the most iconic and awe-inspiring national parks in the United States, Yosemite National Park is a crown jewel of California’s natural beauty. Located in the Sierra Nevada mountains, Yosemite is known for its towering granite cliffs, plunging waterfalls, and ancient sequoia trees. The park’s most famous landmarks include El Capitan, a 3,000-foot vertical rock formation, and Half Dome, a massive granite peak that draws hikers from around the world. During spring and early summer, waterfalls like Yosemite Falls and Bridalveil Fall thunder down with force. Whether you’re a hiker, photographer, or casual nature lover, Yosemite offers breathtaking beauty at every turn.
