Description
Yosemite National Park, one of the ecological treasures of the United States, is located in northern California.  The seven square miles (18 sq km) Yosemite Valley is the most popular part of the park.  The park features granite monoliths, waterfalls, streams, and Giant Sequoias. Yosemite National Park offers breathtaking views, incredible rock formations, and the largest waterfall in North America. As one of America’s most beautiful and beloved national parks, it offers an experience of a lifetime for the entire family. Yosemite National Park was literally carved into the earth by the movement of enormous glaciers. This created some unique topographical features not found anywhere else in the world, including five of the tallest waterfalls on Earth. Visit Yosemite in the Spring to see the waterfalls at their fullest, carrying the melting snow down the mountains. Whether you’re a novice hiker or an adventure seeker, there are trails for everyone that lead to the waterfalls. Animal lovers and bird watchers should seriously consider making a trip to Yosemite. There are over 400 species of animals inhabiting Yosemite, and 10% of them have special protection status, including the beloved Sierra Nevada Red Fox. During a hike in Yosemite, you have a good chance of seeing bobcats, mule deer, and bighorn sheep. “Spectacular” does not adequately describe the sunsets at Yosemite National Park. Many opt to spend a day scaling the face of El Capitan to experience the world-famous sunsets from its peak. Other great sunset watching locations are Three Brothers peaks and the banks of the Merced River. You will find the full transcript at https://interspanish.buzzsprout.com
