2. Yosemite National Park
Yosemite National Park is a park in California that is internationally recognized for its waterfalls, towering granite monoliths, deep valleys and ancient giant sequoias. It was designated a world heritage site in 1984 and is one of the largest and least fragmented habitat blocks in the Sierra Nevada. One time, high winds at the perfect time of the day created a previously undocumented 2,400-foot rainbow waterfall in the park.
Almost 95% of the park is classified as wilderness and is home to a large variety of plants and animals. Consisting of three sections, Yosemite Falls is truly a one-of-a-kind natural wonder. The best way to see the park is through hiking.

3. Mono Lake
Mono Lake is the largest natural lake in Mono County, California that was formed at least 760,000 years ago as a terminal lake in an endorheic basin. It has no natural outlet and the lack of one causes high levels of salts to gather in the lake which make its water alkaline. At its height during the most recent ice age, the lake would have been about 900 feet deep.
Things to do at Mono Lake include: taking a trip to the Mono Lake Visitor center, taking a boat tour or a walking tour of the unique tufa towers, go bird watching and also capture the moment by taking pictures of the dramatic towers at the lake. Volcanic activity continues in the Mono Lake vicinity with the most recent eruption occurring 350 years ago. Mono Lake is definitely a place to add on your bucket list.
