Yosemite National Park
Yosemite, CA , 95389 Phone: 209-372-0200 Website 4/26/23: BLM warned that Yosemite will be closed for a while because of melting snow. They had lots of snow this year and they anticipate flooding in the park as the snow melts since the temps are getting hot.
Yosemite National Park is a United States National Park spanning eastern portions of Tuolumne, Mariposa and Madera counties in the central eastern portion of California. The park covers an area of 761,268 acres and reaches across the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountain chain. Over 3.7 million people visit Yosemite each year but most spend their time in the seven square miles of Yosemite Valley. Yosemite is internationally recognized for its spectacular granite cliffs, waterfalls, clear streams, Giant Sequoia groves, and biological diversity. Almost 95% of the park is designated wilderness. Although not the first designated national park, Yosemite was central to the development of the national park idea, largely owing to the work of people like Galen Clark and John Muir.
