the truly stunning Yosemite National Park
The entire Yosemite National Park is really awesome and much of the scenery will take your breathe away. It is a "must visit" for all lovers of natural scenery.
The Valley is a gem, with a beautiful river running through it, busy and tranquil at the same time. There are lots of places to stop and admire the scenery, picnic or go for hikes.
Sequoias, massive and thousands of years old and still there after being hit by lightning and withstanding forest fires for centuries. The strange thing is the trees outer layer is soft and hairy if you haven't seen one before.
