Yosemite National Park
San Francisco, California
General Information
Why It's Protected
Yosemite is protected by UNESCO because of it’s waterfalls, mountain peaks and beautiful scenery. Also for the half dome and what a glacier did to it. The snow patted down and turned into ice then more snow came down and the ice torn the garnet walls up and the wall collapsed making the half dome. That is an example of why this is a natural WHS. El Capitan is one of the rock formations in Yosemite. From the base to the along its tallest face the beautiful rock formation called El Capitan extends about 3,000 feet. Yosemite was put on the WHS list in 1984. Most of the peaks in Yosemite range about 10,000 feet high (3,050 meters).
