Top 6 in Top 10 most beautiful national parks in the world.
First discovered and preserved in 1864 and one of the first parks under the National Park Service, Yosemite in California was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The park's central feature is Yosemite Valley, surrounded by soaring granite peaks, dense pine forests, and stunning waterfalls. Not only is this park a wonderful valley with waterfalls, in the vast wilderness area of Yosemite, you'll find deep valleys, rich meadows, ancient giant sequoia trees, and more than 800 miles (1300 km) of beautiful hiking trails. The park has special appeal regardless of the time of year: spring brings fast-flowing waterfalls, summer allows outdoor activities, autumn has colorful and less crowded ornamental plants, and in winter it becomes a snow-covered wonderland for skiing and snowshoes.
