Yosemite. It’s a classic and has been from the beginning.
I know Yellowstone claims to be the first ever National Park, but Yosemite Valley was designated as federal land put aside for the public use before Yellowstone. And I can see why. The granite cliffs and waterfalls, the forest and Merced river all combine for a beautiful scenic excursion, if you can stand the crowds (more on that in my next post).
If you’ve never been to Yosemite, or if you go every year, enjoy these photo favorites from our
National Park to Park Highway tour. It’s truly a beauty.
