Yosemite: Yosemite Valley makes up only 5% of the entire national park. The valley floor itself is the size of 4.5 Central Parks and features a 12-mile loop that constantly fills with tourists, all staring in awe at the towering granite walls that rise thousands of feet into the sky. Outside the crowded valley, you can spend hours driving in any direction, asking yourself over and over again, "How the f$& does this place even exist?"*
