Yosemite National Park Untouched And Unbelievable by K Watkins If your heading out west and especially in the San Francisco area, than Yosemite National Park should be one of your first stops. It's located in the Sierra Nevada mountains which is about 200 miles from the city of San Francisco. Yosemite National Park has over 800 miles of hiking trails for the outdoor hiker.
One of the most beautiful things in Yosemite is the giant sequoia trees which range as tall as 300 feet and 30 feet in diameter. Yosemite is one of the most popular destinations in the USA. Mostly because it's close to both Los Angeles and San Francisco and makes an ideal short vacation trip for people from these cities.
The Yosemite park service maintains a snack bar, visitors information center and gift shop for the tourist. The one thing that is just breathtaking are the many waterfalls that are throughout Yosemite. Many people come to just view their beauty. As you can see Yosemite National park has a lot to offer. My favorite thing though is the beauty of nature and walking through one of the biggest parks around. There is a peaceful serenity about it.
So before you take that next vacation take a look at Yosemite and all the things it has to offer. You will be surprise what a great time you will have in our nation's parks. For more information about other travel and vacation ideas choose from one of the following pages:
