優勝美地 (Yosemite) 於1864年6月30日被設為保護區
觀光問題很快就成為優勝美地山谷與巨林區的問題，因為這些地方很快就成為觀光旅遊必到的目的地之一。在1890年時，百姓希望聯邦政府能夠接管這座公園，政府因此成立了「優勝美地國家公園」。現在優勝美地包括了有1千2百平方英畝的中部賽拉內華達山脈 (Sierra
Nevada) 。公園裡有高約海拔1萬3千英尺的高山，保留了許多高山
荒野，還有巨大的紅衫林，以及優勝美地山谷的懸崖峭壁、瀑布、野花，以及其他形狀奇特的岩石等等。
The problem of tourism soon overwhelmed Yosemite Valley and the Big Tree Grove as they quickly became "must see" vacation destinations. In 1890, the public wanted the park returned to the federal government and, as a result, Yosemite National Park was established. Today, Yosemite includes nearly 1,200 square miles of the central Sierra Nevada mountain range. With mountains as high as 13,000 feet above sea level, the park preserves alpine wilderness, groves of Giant Sequoias, and the Yosemite Valley's cliffs, waterfalls, wildflowers, and impressive rock formations.
