Yosemite National Park, CA (No. 3)
European American settlers first entered the valley in 1851. Other travelers entered earlier, but James D. Savage is credited with discovering the area that became Yosemite National Park. Native Americans had inhabited the region for nearly 4,000 years, although humans may have first visited as long as 8,000 to 10,000 years ago.
Yosemite was critical to the development of the concept of national parks. Galen Clark and others lobbied to protect Yosemite Valley from development, ultimately leading to President Abraham Lincoln's signing of the Yosemite Grant of 1864 that declared Yosemite as federally preserved land. In 1890, John Muir led a successful movement to motivate Congress to establish Yosemite Valley and its surrounding areas as a National Park. This helped pave the way for the National Park System. Yosemite draws about four million visitors annually. Most visitors spend the majority of their time in the valley's seven square miles (18 km2). The park set a visitation record in 2016, surpassing five million visitors for the first time.

Looking through photos of the John Muir Trail and:

Once, when I was 12, my mom told me that she wanted me to go a day without saying “Yosemite’ because it was “turning into an obsession.” But really... can you blame me? The people who don’t get obsessed with this park after seeing it are the ones to worry about!

Got an article talking about this fancy bed and breakfast in a town in the area and i am... baffled?
Forst it says its in Yosemite in the title... its not.
Next, in the article, it says the town its in is less than 30 minutes away from Yosemite. Yeah, maybe if you flew. But as someone who drove thru this town as a kid when going to the city for groceries when we lived jn Yosemite, it takes and hour and 45 minutes with good traffic. You can barely get to El Portal in less than 30 minutes from Yosemite wtf
