Moving from the general eastern part of the country, we head now to the west. Specifically, California. While most visitors to this sunny state head to land´s end where the waters meet the shore, outdoor enthusiasts grab their backpacks and hiking boots and head into Yosemite. Yosemite National Park rates #7 on the list of the top 10 must-see places across the US.

It became the second wilderness park in the United States and contains almost 1200 square miles of valleys, ancient giant sequoias, lush meadows and a blanket of wilderness. Granite pervades in the park and exposes its strength and more so the strength of glaciers that carved their way through the granite

Anyone who has been there will understand why. If your pocketbook is full of notes and your budget grand, then you will want to stay at a swash hotel right in the park. For those wanting to camp, if you are lucky enough, you can reserve a site at one of the campgrounds. But if you don´t fit into either of these categories, don´t fret. There are plenty of lovely villages surrounding all points of the park. Just decide from where you will enter. The options are overwhelming.
