Yosemite is the premier National Park in the United States and one of the favorites of famed naturalist John Muir (see the California quarter). Famous for the tallest waterfall in North America, Yosemite Falls, and gigantic granite monoliths, Half Dome and El Capitan - there is no shortage of beauty to see here. Because these sites are easily accessible, it attracts millions of visitors each year. We collected trash on separate hikes to different waterfalls and at the parking lots nearby the trailheads.
