Yosemite National Park, USA

With its scrubby sun-baked heath, stately groves of pine, fir and sequoia, and expanses of alpine meadows, Yosemite National Park preserves a Sierra Nevada landscape as it prevailed before Euro-American settlement. It is internationally recognized for its spectacular granite cliffs, waterfalls, clear streams and biological diversity; a mecca for enthusiastic hikers and rock climbers world over.
