Yosemite Valley, California

Yosemite Valley is a beautiful place located in Mariposa County, California. It's a great attraction to many tourists who love to take scenic photo shots and also a great place for hiking lovers. Otherwise people have plans of camping in the area because not only is there an amazing view all around the weather and temperature during the day is pretty moderate to the point where you won't mind that it's too cold or too hot. Not to mention it doesn't matter when you decide to come to Yosemite National Park it's gorgeous all year round and you don't have to care about whether or not it's crowded or not. JUST COME AND CHECK IT OUT CAUSE IT'S VERY BEAUTIFUL! If camping were to be a possible goal to visit Yosemite Falls, you would have thirteen different choices of campgrounds. But I probably should warn you ahead of time that only seven of the thirteen campgrounds can be reserved. While many of the campgrounds have tap water and flush toilets, only Curry Village and Housekeeping Camp have actual decent showers that you'll feel comfortable showering in.


Here's a little history and a few fun facts you might find interesting to know and will persuade you  more to go before you decide to plan your short vacation over to California. The Ahwaneechee Native Americans lived in Yosemite Valley for about 4000 years then in the early 19th century non-native trappers arrived and the California Gold Rush then brought in thousands of people into the area. Since Yosemite's beauty spread throughout the country about nine years later President Lincoln named Yosemite Valley and Mariposa Grove as the country's first public preserve.

 John Muir, a famed naturalist fell in love with Yosemite and later became the chief voice in its preservation. He helped draw up the boundaries and wrote papers on how its beauty and importance may change tourists points of view about visiting this great place filled with fresh water, blue skies, and green grass. One of the more important articles about Yosemite Valley was said to be like this, "No temple made with human hands can compare with Yosemite." I can believe that, do you know why though? It's because the park presents spectacular granite crystal formations with majestic waterfalls, ancient sequoias, and the Merced River and the Tuolumne River and so many more. It's almost like a paradise if you ask me my opinion. Like I know that there's also Niagara Falls but this waterfall is located  on the other side of the continent, so it would give you a new taste of waterfalls in the United States. (438 words)
