Yosemite National Park is one of the most famous sites in the US and is a must for anyone travelling through California.

2014 represents a major milestone for the area as it marks 150 years since President Abraham Lincoln signed the Yosemite Grant Act which made Yosemite Valley and the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias a national park.

And the Camping and Caravanning Club’s Steve Adams is visiting Yosemite during the celebrations, touring around California in his trusted motorhome.

In the first of a series of articles for the Camping & Caravanning magazine, Steve explained the various activities that are going on to mark this special occasion.

Staying at Indian Flat RV Park, near to Yosemite, Steve and his girlfriend were able to explore the famous monument and take in all the history of the site from the day President Lincoln signed the declaration right up to the modern day.
