I find it hard to believe that anyone could visit Yosemite and not find it to be one of the best parts of the USA
There’s a vast difference between being in a place for the entertainment value of seeing nice things, vs actually immersing in that place - and personally I prefer the latter over the former.
Yosemite could be breathtaking, but not interesting (because it feels very foreign) the way that a huge high school football game or a typical American diner might be interesting to non-American eyes.
(In case it's not obvious, I've never been to the USA)
