Yosemite National Park, park in east central California, established in 1890. Located in the Sierra Nevada range and 3079.3 sq km (1188.9 sq mi) in area, the park is famous for its spectacular scenery. Most notable is the magnificent Yosemite Valley, a narrow gorge about 11 km (about 7 mi) long and 1.6 km (1 mi) wide, through which passes the Merced River. A group of cataracts plunges from the great precipices of granite that rise about 1220 m (about 4000 ft) from the valley floor. In addition to the attractions of Yosemite Valley, the park contains many lofty peaks of the Sierra Nevada, including Mount Lyell (3997 m/13,114 ft). Yosemite has a great diversity of vegetation and wildlife.
