Where The Bears Are---A Kid's Guide To Yosemite National Park, USA

Yosemite National Park, located in California, is renowned for its stunning waterfalls and diverse landscapes, including deep valleys and ancient sequoias. The park's protection was championed by concerned citizens like Galen Clark and Senator John Conness, leading to a significant legislative effort. In 1864, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Yosemite Grant, marking the first time U.S. federal land was designated for preservation and public use, setting a precedent for future national parks, including Yellowstone in 1872.
