Yes, there are several interesting facts about Yosemite National Park, and some of them include: - The entire park is spread over 748,436 acres of space in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Also, the height of mountains is still increasing at a very minimal rate, i.e., 1 foot/1000 years.  - Ancient glaciers formed this beautiful valley.  - The granite rock formations of Half Dome and El Capitan in the park glow during sunset, giving an illusion that they are on fire.  - The valley is home to more than 400 species, including reptiles, mammals, birds, amphibians, and the rare Red Fox.
