In 2011 my wife and I went on a 5-6 week road trip of National Parks. By the time we got to Yosemite we had already visited 10 other parks and we were starting to get a bit numb to the “grandeur” of the parks. I will never forget the sudden quietness and sense of awe that fell upon the car when we came out of the tunnel and got our first glimpses of the valley - it’s so staggering... that granite monolith dwarfs the largest sky scrappers in world and it’s not even close... absolutely jaw dropping.

Yosemite is easily the most beautiful national park I've even been to. It's like a wonderland. It was almost turned into a mine but ended up being turned into a national park. Imagine how many places like that have been destroyed over the years without the protection of national park status.
