Famous for its towering waterfalls and massive granite cliffs, the park was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984 and attracts around four million visitors a year - and with good reason. With an area of 2,849 km², the park is larger than Saarland and offers unforgettable natural wonders, from the sheer walls of Yosemite Valley to the alpine beauty of Tuolumne Meadows.
