I am a disabled veteran, I served this country and now I am on a quest to visit all the National Park that I can. I live near Yosemite and love the day trips I take to visit the Park. The fires in California are a big worry, the way the parks are being used for gain, and so much more. All these reasons make me want to do what I can. I want to see our National Parks, the beauty each park offers. My country my parks.
Sincerely,
Yosemite National Park
With its sculpted granite rock formations, towering ancient sequoia trees and spectacular waterfalls, it's no wonder Yosemite is one of the most celebrated national parks in the world.
State(s): California
Established: 1890
