Nestled in eastern California, Yosemite National Park contains a wide variety of natural features, including a portion of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. The granite cliffs that are prevalent here provide the perfect and most picturesque waterfalls. In fact, there are many famous landmarks here, including the popular Yosemite Valley and outcroppings like Sentinel and Half-Dome. Groves of sequoias give the illusion that the trees are trying to mimic the majesty of the mountains. Hiking and camping are just a couple of the family activities that are embraced here.
