Created in 1890, Yosemite National Park protects 3 000km2 of wild space in the heart of the Sierra Nevada. Sharp summits, bare granite domes, cliffs and dizzying waterfalls, forests of giant sequoias: here, Mother Nature shows us what she's made of. To see the spectacle unfolding, go to the various stunning viewpoints: Tunnel View, Olmsted Point, Glacier Point... With over 800 miles of trails, the park is a real paradise for hiking enthusiasts.
