Personal highlights

  1. Yosemite: meaning "killer" in an indigenous language and referring to an old tribe
  2. National Park: along the Sierra Nevada mountain chain, full of forests & mountain peaks
  3. Yosemite Falls: impressive waterfalls with multiple drops up to 400 meters into the abyss
  4. Bear Trails:  once you realize it, the trails are everywhere, such as bitten and gnawed trees
  5. UNESCO: protected because of its hanging valleys, polished domes, moraines and waterfalls
