What's the best place in America?

Yosemite Valley, located in California in the western United States, is known as the most beautiful area in the United States. It is also regarded as a peaceful place for the modern nature conservation movement.

There are few places in the world where there are so many beautiful views like Yosemite Valley. It is a 12-kilometer-long masterpiece of nature, and the scenery here is different and beautiful. No wonder the great naturalist John Muir lamented: "God always seems to work hard to dress up the beautiful scenery here.

Yosemite Valley lies in the middle of the Sierra Nevada in California, and is home to many magnificent natural beauty. The mountain scenery of high mountains and the special valley scenery of the crown of tall Chinese fir make Yosemite a rare natural attraction. John Muir, a naturalist, once described the beauty of this place like this: "Only temples built by hand can match it." Yosemite is made of ice. In the late glacial season, the huge ice bed was chiseled into sudden peaks, steep cliffs and huge monoliths. The flat valley is formed by sedimentation of a huge lake formed by melting water of ice and snow.

Nowadays, the valley is covered with grass full of flowers, surrounded by strange waterfalls. The evolution of geography is still in progress, and lakes are still silting up and rising. The natural evolution of life and the survival of the fittest can be seen from the tall Chinese fir, which is very fire-resistant. Periodic fires are necessary for Chinese fir, which can remove dense plants on the ground and make young Chinese fir grow. The strewn at random natural scenery has amazing beauty, and a large number of animals and plants grow in the area. There are the Merced River and some waterfalls, including the yosemite falls at 739 meters, which is the third longest waterfall in the world. There are many beautiful hills and peaks in the landscape, and there are the largest and most magnificent rock walls in the world-the most impressive one is John Muir, who makes Yosemite a part that Americans care about. Moreover, he is also a key figure in the establishment of American forest protection policies. He spent most of his life roaming the mountains, especially Yosemite, describing the natural wonders there.

Ansel Adams, a great American photographer, successfully played the role of a propagandist of mountain wasteland. He took black-and-white photos of Yosemite and the local environment in different seasons and different tones.

unforgettable is the Pitan Rock Wall in Elca, which is a granite wall with a height of 1,99 meters from the bottom of the valley. Yosemite Valley is actually only a small part of Yosemite National Park with an area of 3,8 square kilometers. In 1864, the valley became the first state park in the United States; In 189, the surrounding area was designated as a national park; In 196, the national park merged with the state park. Near the south entrance of the park, there are huge redwood trees in the jungle of Mariposa, which are thousands of years old. To its east is the popular TuOlemyr Meadow Highland, where huge stone domes stand on lush meadows and the lake is clear and unpolluted. Across the TuOlemyr Meadow is the 331-meter-long Teoga Mountain Pass, which is the commanding height of the park. There is a steep path down through the Inyo National Forest on the east side of the Sierra Nevada. In the north, there is the Yosemite Mountain which is rarely visited, including the Grand Canyon of the TuOlemyr River and the Hirsch Reservoir built in 1913, which irrigates a valley almost comparable to Yosemite Valley.

Yosemite was not known to westerners in the United States until 1851, when volunteers from Mariposa Battalion went into the valley to search for a large number of Avanichi Indians who were sent to build an Indian reservation. The name of the park comes from the local Indian word grizzly bear.

within a few years, the sightseeing group gradually became fascinated with the scenery below the valley, which is as beautiful as what people see from the Wawona tunnel today: on the left side of the tunnel is the breathtaking and majestic Pitan rock wall in Elca; On its right is the beautiful Bridwell Waterfall, which is 189 meters high. It falls straight down from the ridge of Cassidler Rock, and there is a seemingly indestructible sentinel rock, in front of which is the ice erosion surface of the semicircle hill. For

climbers from all over the world, Yosemite National Park is the holy land of this sport. The valley provides various types of rock climbing: cracks, ice caves, suspended rocks, artificial AIDS and different climbing angles-any climbing method that climbers need. Yosemite's most spectacular rock climbing is the huge valley walls and trails that can be completed in 15 days, such as the semicircle hill, sentinel rock, Royal Arch and the huge Elca Pitan rock wall, one of the largest granite walls in the world.

Yosemite became the center of rock climbing in the United States in 195s and 196s, when Royal Robbins, Yvonne and Warren Harding made the first climb that was previously considered impossible. In 1957, Robbins, Jerry Garvas and Mike Serik became the first climbers to conquer the northwest slope of a 61m-high steep semicircle. The following year, Harding, Ping Enmei and George Whitewater climbed the Nose Route in Pitan, Elca for the first time. The new generation of rock climbers have many technical advantages. The most famous Yosemite rock climbers in 197s and 198s include Bey Johnson, who is one of the greatest female rock climbers. Yosemite National Park covers an area of 1,2 square miles and protects the central area of Sierra Nevada since 189. The peaks range from 2, feet to 13, feet above sea level. The main scenery is gathered here. There are beautiful natural scenery, three American fir forests and Yosemite Valley formed by glaciers. The waterfalls and cliffs in the valley are breathtaking and the rocks are grotesque.
