Instagrammable Waterfalls

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, CALIFORNIA – JUNE 11: A view of Yosemite Falls on June 11, 2020 in Yosemite National Park, California. Yosemite National Park reopened today with many restrictions after shutting down in March to protect people from COVID-19. Only about half of the average June visitors will be allowed in, and they must make an online reservation for each car. The park will issue 1,700 day passes each day and an additional 1,900 passes for reservations at campsites or hotels in the park.
