Deep in the Sierra Nevada mountains of eastern California, Yosemite is one the most stunningly beautiful places in all of North America. Located in a deep valley formed by glaciers during the last Ice Age, the national park is home to sheer granite cliffs, soaring waterfalls, towering giant sequoia groves, and abundant plant and animal life. Whether you’re looking for challenging hikes or gentle walks (and even accessible drives), Yosemite has it all.
