It’s hard to top the beauty and magic of Yosemite National Park. Granite monoliths jut out of the ground, giant sequoia groves dot the landscape, and waterfalls topple off cliffs. It’s the sort of place that could take a lifetime to explore; the park is 747,956 acres or 1,169 square miles of near-complete wilderness. This open, wild space is home to hundreds of black bears and more than 400 species of vertebrates, from fish and reptiles to birds and mammals.
