YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK CAMPGROUNDS
Yosemite National Park embraces a spectacular
tract of mountain-and-valley scenery in the Sierra Nevada, which was set
aside as a national park in 1890. The park harbors a grand collection of
waterfalls, meadows, and forests that include groves of giant sequoias,
the world's largest living things. Highlights of the park include
Yosemite Valley, and its high cliffs and waterfalls; Wawona's history
center and historic hotel; the Mariposa Grove, which contains hundreds
of ancient giant sequoias; Glacier Point's (summer-fall) spectacular
view of Yosemite Valley and the high country; Tuolumne Meadows
(summer-fall), a large sub-alpine meadow surrounded by mountain peaks;
and Hetch Hetchy, a reservoir in a valley considered a twin of Yosemite
Valley.
