The United States has many National Parks. Yosemite is one of them.
First protected in 1864, Yosemite National Park is best known for its waterfalls, but within its nearly 1,200 square miles, you can find deep valleys, grand meadows, ancient giant sequoias, a vast wilderness area, and much more.
The video:
A 200+ mile backpacking experience through Yosemite National Park captured by Colin Delehanty and Sheldon Neill. This project was filmed over the course of 10 months. We spent a combined 45 days in the park capturing the images in this video.

When I watched the video, the thing that stood out the most was the sky. It was always magnificent in all of the pictures of it.
The video made me think about the Alps, because it was a magnificent piece of nature with mountains, waterfalls, and stunning views.
I would like to go to Yosemite, but I wouldn't because I could tell that there were a lot of tourists that could ruin the peace and quiet.

I think that I have been to a National Park in New Jersey. I don't exactly know if it was really a National park. It was called the Pine Barrens. The trees there were very fireproof and survived lots of wildfires.
I have never been to Yosemite before, but the video made it look really cool. I would want to go there someday. I would love to go backpacking there like the people who made the video did.
The thing that stood out to me the most was the mountains. The way that they caught the light was amazing. The video made me think about how I would want to go to Yosemite.
I have never been to a National Park, so I have never been to Yosemite. When I watched the video. the peaks of the mountains stood out to me, as they jutted towards the clouds.

After watching this video, I really want to go to Yosemite, because it looks quite beautiful. My overall impressions of Yosemite is that it is really amazing.
No, I have never been to a National Park, neither have I been to Yosemite.

No I have never been to Yosemite National park or any other park. I think the water and the fact that they sped up time which made the water look really cool. When I was watching this video I thought about ducks and I was hoping to see some. No i don't want to go to Yosemite. I think that Yosemite is a pretty cool place.
I have been to a National Park before in New Jersey. It was fun and interesting and, and seemed a little like Yosemite. I've never been to Yosemite but it seems like a fun and beautiful place to go. When I watched the video the stars stood out to me the most. They were many different colors, and seemed to be everywhere. This video made me think about how small everything is compared to some places like Yosemite. Like how big the mountains are compared to many other things. After watching this video I would want to go to Yosemite. Yosemite is pretty, interesting, and most of all AMAZING.

I have never been to a National Park or Yosemite. The think that stood out to me the most in the video was the stars. I thought it was really cool how they sped it up so you can see their movement. The video made me think about how along time ago they were able to chart stars. I wonder what they would think if they watched this video. it also made me thing about the planets and stars. I would like to go to Yosemite because the landscape looks really cool. My overall impression of yosemite is that it is impressive.

When I was about 7 years old I went to a national park in Colorado. I saw one of the most beautiful sites ever. I saw beautiful landscapes with amazing wildlife and at night the stars were amazing. You could never find anything like it in a busy New York City part of town.
Sadly I have never been to Yosemite Nation Park in California. I would love to go and see the the breathtaking spot in person. I have been to a place called Yosemite, but it was in Colorado and no where near as beautiful as this national park.
When I watched this video the stars and mountains stood out to me. It looked amazing, almost like the were fake stars.
This video made me think about how different life would be if I didn't live in NYC. I wouldn't fall asleep to people screaming outside. I would also be able to take in the beautiful landscape. Life would be much different.
After this video of Yosemite I noticed how beautiful the country side is. This is an amazing part of America and we should treasure it for life.

Yes, I have been to a national park twice before. The first time I was about seven years old in Ireland. It was great me and my parents hiked for only about five hours yet there were great sites along the way. I also went to a National park when I was nine years old and visiting Washington state it was only me and my parents again and the hikes were much smaller, however had great wildlife. We even saw a baby bear in a tree!!!
