Yosemite National Park Known for its granite cliffs, waterfalls, biological diversity, and towering sequoia trees, Yosemite National Park is located in the western Sierra Nevada of Central California. Visitors tend to flock to the park's seven-square-mile Yosemite Valley, which you'll be sure to see when you tour Yosemite National Park on Google Earth. Image Source: Getty / Smith Collection/Gado
