California, here we come! From the rugged coastline of the Pacific Ocean to Yosemite National Park, Lake Tahoe to Napa Valley, the scenery, history, and culture of northern California is unparalleled.
A natural paradise since time began, Yosemite National Park is a treasure of the American West. Familiar photos of El Capitan, Half Dome, and Tunnel View flood guide books, websites, and social media, but there is nothing quite like standing before them – discovering how small you are in a vast and impressive world. From meandering rivers to peaceful meadow valleys, soaring peaks and thundering waterfalls, there isn’t one inch of this 1,200 square mile park that won’t leave you in awe.
