Yosemite National Park – BEST Spots In Under 72 Hours

A landscape of diversity with some of the finest scenery in the world, where sun rises through some of its prominent features! Water falls cascades thousands of feet and plunges down cliffs, and crashes on to it’s rocky base throwing up rippling clouds of mist!

Massive granite cliffs rises high over the valley under a clear blue sky! This incredible land, with it’s granite cliffs, it’s massive pine forests, and its vibrant meadows was once home to the indigenous people who called it Ahwahnee, or “The Wide Mouth.” But to most people, it’s known by another name, Yosemite!
