California is live on Travelog with one destination, Yosemite National Park, inscribed by UNESCO in 1984 for its granite cliffs, waterfalls, and glacially carved landscape. Standard entrance costs $35 per vehicle for 7 days. Half Dome's summit cables, when up (roughly late May through mid-October), require a lottery-based day-use permit through Recreation.gov, covered as its own standalone landmark.
Yosemite's UNESCO story rests on documented geology, and its most famous hike carries a genuine, government-run permit system worth understanding before planning a trip, covered in full below.
