Yosemite National Park View from Glacier Point

Yosemite


National Park
In what conservationist
John Muir called his
‘great temple,’ everything
looks bigger, whether
you’re getting splashed
by thunderous waterfalls,
staring up at granite
domes or walking in
ancient groves of sequoia.
For sublime views, perch
at Glacier Point under a
full moon or motor along
high-elevation Tioga Rd
on Trip 19: Yosemite,
Sequoia & Kings Canyon
National Parks.
