Yosemite National Park

MichaelH - 17-May-25

Yosemite National Park

Yosemite is one of a handful of US sites that readily meet OUV requirements. It has stunning scenery and has provided an impetus to the overall American (and indirectly world) conservation movement (reference John Muir) and has provided inspiration for artists (Ansel Adams and more). 
It is also the WHS that I know best, having hiked or skied most of its trails over the past 50 years. I am writing this review less as an evaluation than as an introductory guide for other WHS travelers, having appreciated the guidance I’ve found in other reviews for less celebrated sites.
