Yosemite National Park
Admission includedStanding on the valley floor of Yosemite National Park, the scale of what surrounds you takes a moment to absorb. El Capitan rises nearly 3,000 feet on one side while Half Dome anchors the eastern skyline. Ribbons of snowmelt cascade from ledges high above, and the Merced River moves quietly through meadows of tall grass below. Yosemite National Park rewards those who linger long enough to notice the smaller details alongside the grand ones.
