Yosemite National Park in central California is unmatched in its scenery and is one of the best national parks in the United States. From iconic views like the picturesque El Capitan, as famously captured by Ansel Adams, to hikes up Half Dome and through redwood forests, to rafting on the Merced River to camping in glacier-carved valleys such as Tuolumne Meadows, to lodging in the park, to the thunderous waters of Yosemite Falls and Bridal Veil Falls, Yosemite has something to offer everyone.
