Getting a pull over by the rangers when I was driving back to my campsite, and having to pass several tests to show I hadn't drunk, well, that was to me the most exciting experience (not the most desirable, though)
I am from Liverpool, I visited Yosemite 2 years ago, I have travelled all around the world, but Yosemite is easily the best place I have, and ever will experience. Breathtaking scenery
I live in Merced, CA which is also known as “The gateway to Yosemite.” I live so close to the park that we often take day trips there on the weekends. It truly is a magical place that I wish everyone could have the opportunity to see for themselves.
i'm going to a wedding in san diego in may. i have family in LA i will visit for a day, BUT i really want to make it a point with my wife and son to visit Yosemite. I hope i can make it happen.
@@itr0863 Watch the missing 411 videos by David you won't want to go here or other places no more lol. Know how many ppl in past 50+ years came up missing here n never found or if found strange events that occurred lol
My national parks pass was the best Christmas present I've ever bought myself. I hike Yosemite at least once a month. My happy place. Best bet is to take a Friday off and spend the day hiking. Easy parking, less crowds.
Been dreaming about going for a while. Live in the UK though so I will have to tie it into a tour of California to make it worthwhile. A week in San Fransisco, a week in Yosemite and then a week in LA and surrounding area. Oh and a trip to Sequia! That will be a couple of days. You Americans are so lucky to have places like California.
you should include the rest of the Bay Area in your week in San Francisco. You should also visit Santa Cruz (about an hour south of SF). Basically you could spend half your life in California, and not see everything lol.

I'm from Toledo, Ohio and I flew my mom out to California for her 70th birthday a couple years ago and the last place we visited was Yosemite. Pictures, movies and explanations of this park will do no justice! This is a place you have to see for yourself.
Yosemite is such a breathtaking place, you don't know what to do first because there are so many things to do and see. I went to Yosemite like 6 years ago and it's still one of my favorite national parks I ever visited in California ;) by the way, thank you National Geographic to make all of these short but really cool videos :)

Sequoias are thousands years old, amazingly giant trees, only seen in California. It is a must-see. Makes you feel like the smallest creature on earth.
These attractions are at least an hours drive from the valley floor. Place is huge and some trailheads might be miles away from lodging. Speed limit is 10 or 15 mph so somewhere 20 miles away can take 2 hrs.
monkey paw whenever there isnt 1 million people there. Winter is pretty dead but also very cold and the valley is closed. But if you climb you can still make it to the walls. Id say Autumn is the best because its not super hot and lesser crowds than summer
That was a pika (Ochotona daurica), and, yes, they are common in the park and throughout the Sierra in rocky terrain at higher elevations, say 2500 meters and above..
@@professorsogol5824 Interestingly my dog is from Texas, and when he heard a recorded Pika call, he perked his ears. Most recorded animal sounds don't interest him. Thank you for clarifying.
I noticed that too (at 1:08). Also several of the Halfdome views are not from the Glacier Point perspective (from the west, looking east, but from the east, looking west.
@@fighterdow The "creature" in the last image in the film (at 3:23, before the credits roll) is of an American pika, Ochotona daurica. The "pi" in pika is pronounced the same as the number pi (3.14.159 . . . .) and the "ka" is pronounced as in the last syllable of "America." How are trees involved?
Not to be a deuce but it be nice to limit the foreigners. You can't have a relaxing getaway without having crowds destroy the enjoyment of what's left of the U.S. Treasures.
SoberRS Check out Yosemite Valley. There are a lot of trails and they have free shuttle buses there for you to see areas far away from each other. Late May and early June is a nice time to go because it is not hot and the waterfalls are flowing. Also bring lots of food and water because the restaurant there is quite expensive. You can do many other activities like bike riding, water rafting, Rock climbing and horseback riding.
Did you know Yosemite is home to North America's tallest waterfall? Which of these activities makes you the most excited to visit?
National Geographic can you guys pay for my camping trip? Id want to explor for a year straight but job is preventing me. Hahahahahaha. :p
Single drop Tallest waterfalls in North America would be a 'Ribbon falls'
No official trail to this falls but its pretty awesome!
National Geographic definitely the wildlife!
Too many people go missing and never seen again in Yosemite park

You haven't been to the Canadian Rockies then :)
You haven't been to the himalayas yet.
I would love to visit Canada! In the near future maybe
Yosemite is full of stunning valleys and incredible wildlife indeed! Did you have a favorite part from your visit?
So many highlights to the journey, camping out under the starts, cycling through the forest and seeing wild deer. An amazing place :)
Been to all the national parks here in California! For my opinion, California is the most beautiful place to live!
Except all you can see around the cities are dead deserts. You are gonna need to drive quite far to see those
Kyu Kim I live in the Central Valley, I live like basically in the middle of California.
It must be incredible to live so close to these national treasures!
Yosemite and Sequoia N.Ps are really hard to beat! Also the Mt Shasta area..
Kyu Kim because your in southern cailforina a a dry region in the summer and fall months

more unlucky .....

You should of skipped LA and visit Orange County
@@nehsone7491 I second that. Orange County is cool, LA is not
can't believe i only live 2hrs away and only visited once....someone punch me
I can't do that. But will love to take you there :)
Ok ..👊

Hi this channel is the best and awesome.
Let the scenery do the talking.
I love it.
Without a doubt, Yosemite is one of the most beautiful places on this planet!
These photos are beautiful.
Aren't the photos from Glacier Point Road and Yosemite Falls simply breathtaking?

Bakersfield California Baby!!👍
Lived in Cali my whole life never been to the national park. Think I'm going to visit after viewing this video
Gorgeous
ماشاءالله. Stunning , regards from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
I live real close to here and have done dozens of hikes .. definitly not that cool in the summer 😂 but early spring its beautiful
Glad I got to explore Yosemite before it became so crowded.
The surrounding areas are just as beautiful, and much less crowded
Heads up for 2022... Glacier point road is closed until summer of 2023. Tuolumne campground is closed until 2025 for major renovations.
Love Yosemite
Heading here in July from Chicago.
优胜美地是最美丽、多样和豁达的旅游圣地，如果到美国加州，不去优胜美地，那将是一生的遗憾；如果去了，将留下一生的美好回味。
Which si the name of the background music song...at last minute?
Totally flopped and watched this right after visiting the park lol
Gorgeous! I would love to go there!

gotta lose the banners popping up in front of all that gorgeous scenery! Please everyone support our national parks!
magical
God is the ULTIMATE Artist
I knew sequoias were tall... but nearly 30 stories tall... Holy crap that puts it in perspective.
I am going to go. When is the best time to visit?
monkey paw whenever there isnt 1 million people there. Winter is pretty dead but also very cold and the valley is closed. But if you climb you can still make it to the walls. Id say Autumn is the best because its not super hot and lesser crowds than summer
July or August
The waterfalls are practically barreling down in the spring, so I'd say late March/early-mid April.
Not on the weekend or national holidays
Leave it up to nat geo to fit all this in a

Why did you guys keep showing Bridalveil Falls with upper Yosemite? They’re not the same.
I noticed that too (at 1:08). Also several of the Halfdome views are not from the Glacier Point perspective (from the west, looking east, but from the east, looking west.
Надеюсь удастся когда нибудь увидеть это величие
Go to Stump Meadows in Kings Canyon,plus theirs dirt roads all over where you can park next these trees and never any one there
Only here cause of the song
I'm just here for Travis Scott
Same here bud
I love america...
جميل
جميل جدا 👍🏻👍🏻
I live 3 hrs away from the park im definitely going to vist soon
what was that animal at the end?
I'm here because of Travis Scott..
Ice on my neck, flawless baguettes
Travis took me here
I first "must see top 5" highest paying jobs in order to ever go to these places
You can do it on a budget..I did a 3 month tour of the US sleeping in a hire car and saved a ton of money that way..
Is sleeping in a car for three months comfortable enough to avoid ultimate fatigue and backpain? I'm really asking. How was it?
Simon answer Sander's question, the guy wants to travel.
Sander Lansberg it is not the mist comfortable thing but hey it works
Not necessary.
IT LOOKS JUST A MAGIC PLACE........NO FUN FAIR FOR THE KIDS OR SOMETHING LIKE THIS...MERRY GO ROUNDS?
I dream of it, its a goal
In the past I thought the pronunciation of Yosemite: Yo-see-might. Lol My bad! I'm leaving in other side of the globe.
I feel you
Mashallah
On the end of video, meet fat cute fluffy pika, the pokemon-rabbit entity
I will like to working with National Geographic as a journalist....
Better brush up on your English.
Defiently seeing that creature at the end of the video
What, you mean the bear 🐻? 😂

I'm around 6 hours away by car. Not sure when I'll go
I'd go soon. The admin is getting rid of the national park service to sell off the land. ;o
