Yosemite National Park: Not just a great Valley...

www.acrossourchests.com - For tens of thousands of years, humans have changed, and have been changed by, this place we now call Yosemite. The Ahwahneechee lived here for generations, followed by the arrival of Europeans in the mid-1800s. Today, 3.5 million people enter the parks gates to explore every year. We learn from the stories of those who walked Yosemites trails before us, allowing appreciation of their lasting footprints that led to conscious preservation.




Not just a great Valley...but a shrine to human foresight, strength of granite, power of glaciers, the persistence of life, and the tranquility of the High Sierra. Yosemite National Park, one of the first wilderness parks in the United States, is best known for its waterfalls, but within its nearly 1,200 square miles, you can find deep valleys, grand meadows, ancient giant sequoias, a vast wilderness area, and much more.
