 Yosemite National Park
You're in for the ultimate treat at Yosemite.
Nothing in the state (California) -- maybe even the
world -- compares to this vast wilderness and its
miles of rivers, lakes, peaks, and valleys.
With 3 of the 10 tallest waterfalls on earth, the
largest granite monolith anywhere, and some of the
world's largest trees, Yosemite is one of the most
beautiful natural places on the planet. Area- 3081
km.
 Location
Yosemite National Park is located in the
central Sierra Nevada of California. It
takes approximately 4 hours to drive to
the park from San Francisco,
approximately 6 hours from Los Angeles,
and 7 hours from San Bernardino.

 Climate
Yosemite has a Mediterranean climate, meaning most
precipitation falls during the mild winter, and the other
seasons are nearly dry (less than 3% of precipitation falls
during the long, hot summers). Because of orographic lift,
precipitation increases with elevation up to 8,000 feet (2,400
m) where it slowly decreases to the crest. Precipitation
amounts vary from 36 inches (910 mm) at 4,000 feet (1,200 m)
elevation to 50 inches (1,300 mm) at 8,600 feet (2,600 m).. Snow
does not typically persist on the ground until November in the
high country. It accumulates all winter and into March or
early April.

Car or Bus
What is the best option?
In general a car is a great way to tour the
park, although during the summer Yosemite
Valley can be so crowded that a shuttle bus
is a vastly better option. To run limit traffic
congestion the park service offers several
free shuttle buses throughout the park.
