Welcome to
Yosemite is further north-east than San Francisco. It is one of the most famous national parks in the USA.
Yosemite National Park
is one of the most beautiful national parks
in the world.
Yosemite Valley is a magical place. Once a visitor enters, he finds himself in a dreamlike world.
Yosemite National Park also looks magnificent in winter. Many people come there especially to enjoy its snowy mountains.
Sun cups are conical hollows that form after the sun melts portions of snow in mountains of Yosemite Park.
There are 247 species (видов) of birds that inhabit these ancient mountains.
You will find a great variety of wildlife along with mule deer, black bears and other wild animals
When you look down, you discover that you are on a beautiful carpet made of a thousand wildflowers.
When you look straight ahead, you can see many sparkling waterfalls.
These falls are the fifth tallest in the world. But they are famous for a beautiful mist which spreads all around in the air. They are called Bridal Veil Falls.
They are as high as
a 35-storey building.
A mature tree can weigh
more than 3,000 tons.
More than 200 Giant Sequoia trees draw visitors to
Mariposa Grove
in Yosemite National Park.
This sequoia had been
cut to allow carriages
to ride through
in the old days.
One can walk through the California Tunnel Tree and take a photo.
Today tourists can get everything they need there: shops, restaurants, cabins and picnic facilities…
..but it was in 1851 when the first Europeans from the Mariposa Battalion found out this place. They were amazed at what they saw. And soon houses were built there. And the wild meadows got home to cattle and orchards.
People occupied these lands so actively that one scientist, John Muir, got worried much about future of this place.
So the federal government established Yosemite National Park in 1890.
"No temple made with human hands
can compare with Yosemite“
