Yosemite National Park - California

Visitors flock to Yosemite National Park in California's Sierra Nevada mountain region for good reason. The park's granite cliffs, giant redwood trees, and stunning waterfalls make it a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. However, the risks in Yosemite are significant and should be carefully considered. During the wet season, powerful water currents can appear suddenly, making rock hopping dangerous. The trails can be narrow and winding, and the high altitudes may pose challenges for inexperienced or unacclimatized visitors.

Most crucially, it's important to stay on the marked hiking paths and established trails to minimize the chances of encountering unstable terrain or getting lost.
