As a true jewel of wild nature, Yosemite National Park cover more than 3000 km2. Second oldest park in the United States after Yellowstone, Yosemite was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984. Renowned for its high mountains the park offers a dazzling glacial valley as well as high rocky cliffs and fascinating rock formations.
If you are a nature lover Yosemite Park is made for you. Boasting breathtaking forest of giants sequoias, Yosemite provides one of the oldest species of 2700 years : the Grizzly Sequoia. In addition, Yosemite protects a large range of wild species animals that you will be able to admire if you are lucky ! For example, the black bear walks there but also coyotes, deer or marmots.
An outstanding fauna and flora
Lakes and waterfalls
Yosemite host countless spectacular cascades. To make the most of it, I advise you to visit the park during the spring when the thaw is coming. If you visit certain cascades as the Yosemite Falls during the summer you will be disappointed as you will only be able to see a trickle of water flowing from the dried waterfall. Regarding the lakes, lots of them are not easy to access.
