It is world famous for its magnificent granite rocks, waterfalls, redwood forests. When you say Yosemite Park, the first thing that comes to mind is the Yosemite Valley with El Capitán, the highest rock face in the world, which is over 900 meters high. This national park in California was founded in 1890. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1894. There is also the largest waterfall in the USA, but it is dry in the summer, so it is not recorded in the photo. The best way to move in the park is with the help of Shuttles.

It is world famous for its magnificent granite rocks, waterfalls, redwood forests. When you say Yosemite Park, the first thing that comes to mind is the Yosemite Valley with El Capitán, the highest rock face in the world, which is over 900 meters high. This national park in California was founded in 1890. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1894. There is also the largest waterfall in the USA, but it is dry in the summer, so it is not recorded in the photo. The best way to move in the park is with the help of Shuttles. We arrive at the park gate. How huge it is just that we are going to the first prospect for an hour. Glacier Point drove us over the Yosemite Valley and here we have a park in the palm of our hand. Then we move to probably the most famous viewpoint from where this park is most often photographed, or as we know it from publications. Then we came to a large parking lot from where Shuttly runs. We only drove two stations and went to Vernal Fall. Which is 2.5km, but I didn't expect it to be quite a nice climb that can take over. It is one of the higher waterfalls, but it also flows only sturky. It is not massive in summer. Then I visited El Capitán and it's a sight. Finding climbers with the naked eye impossible. Only after zooming in on the camera or binoculars is it possible to see.

Glacier Point

Here we are above the Yosemite Valley with Half Dome rock over 1400 meters high.
