Yosemite National Park is a true paradise for those who love mountains, waterfalls, lakes, forests, and lots of walking. Really a lot! To see the inside and feel this unrealistically beautiful park, you will have to walk dozens of kilometers.
Yosemite has many hiking trails or trailheads. They make up the body of the park in bizarre patterns and lead to the most secluded corners.
