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 of area in the Western Sierra Nevada Mountain range, you can find deep valleys, grand meadows, ancient giant sequoias and a vast wilderness area. The park is one of the most popular places that people visit in the United States! It is ranked #92 in the world as the most sought after place for people to visit. Over 4 million people a year come to visit this wonderful park. (Photos by Ringo H.W. Chiu)
