Mountain Break (weekend tour)

Yosemite National Park is one of the most awesome
places in the U. S. There are thousands of beautiful
lakes, and lots of waterfalls. We think it’s best to visit in
winter, because you can ski or use snow shoes to walk
across the park and see the amazing animals. Kids can
meet the park rangers and learn all about the amazing
animals in the park. Stay in the historic Wawona Hotel.
