    Nestled in the heart of the Sierra Nevada in California, Yosemite National Park is a sparkling gem of American wilderness. Spanning over 3,000 square kilometers, this park offers a breathtaking diversity of landscapes, ranging from vast valleys to majestic waterfalls, lush meadows, giant sequoias, and imposing granite cliffs.

    There is NO GAS STATION in the valley itself. You can find one in several nearby locations: at Crane Flat, El Portal, and Wawona. Chains are required from October to April. Remember to bring mosquito repellent, especially in the summer. There is no cell service in the park!!
