California Yosemite National Park

California Yosemite National Park: California has become a complete country for about a year before Yosemite was discovered. Today the park is not so remote but is still home to some of the most amazing sights that can be found in the world. Even though it can't boast large canyon panoramas in the Grand Canyon, or the amazingly powerful waterfalls that are famous in Niagara, Yosemite has something that is quite unique because it has so many different natural environments in one area - from stunning mountain peaks, to streams crystals, natural water features, glaciers and grasslands, Yosemite has something different to show on almost every turn on the road.

The first place you need to stop in is Yosemite Village. If you plan to spend the night in the park, this is also an area that you might fall asleep because almost all overnight garden guests prefer to live in this 8 square mile area. The village is where you will find good maps to help you find all the highlights of the park (invaluable if you don't have much time to spend in the park!), And tell you what happened around the park that day. If you want to take advantage of one of the shuttle buses that operate between the Village and several park attractions, this is also the place you want.

If you want to be more connected with nature, while not far from the track (and there are many opportunities for that too!), Then plan to explore the east side of the park where there are tighter transportation restrictions with cars not allowed into the area. Here you can take a shuttle bus to the area and then enjoy some hiking or biking, without the sound of a constant car engine disturbing the sounds of nature.

Yosemite is not only for summer, and although some of its best sights such as grasslands will be closed, Yosemite is also a winter playground for those who like snow sports. If you plan to visit the park during the winter months, make sure you check which parts of the park are accessible and open, and what facilities you will find there. You will also find that this type of accommodation will be more limited during the winter months so book in advance around the main holiday period.

Even if you only have one day to spend in Yosemite National Park, you will see things that will provide a lifetime of memories, whether it's Yosemite Falls (the highest waterfall in North America), Mariposa Grove's big redwood trees or alpine the beauty of the Tuolumne meadow.
