YOSEMITE
Yosemite National Park embraces a spectacular tract of mountain-and-valley
scenery in the Sierra Nevada, which was set aside as a national park in 1890.
The park harbors a grand collection of waterfalls, meadows, and forests that
include groves of giant sequoias, the world's largest living things.
Highlights of the park include Yosemite Valley, and its high cliffs and
waterfalls; Wawona's history center and historic hotel; the Mariposa Grove,
which contains hundreds of ancient giant sequoias; Glacier Point's (summer-fall)
spectacular view of Yosemite Valley and the high country; Tuolumne Meadows
(summer-fall), a large subalpine meadow surrounded by mountain peaks; and Hetch
Hetchy, a reservoir in a valley considered a twin of Yosemite Valley.
