Sorry, but no. Yosemite National Park is entirely in California and has many sights that are glorious to behold. Big Sky Country is also a sight to behold and and is blessed with a much lower population density, cleaner air and some would insist that they also have more nice people per square mile. Yellowstone National Park is shared by Wyoming, Montana and Idaho which may be what the questioner was really thinking about.

What is the oldest National Park in the United States?
Yellowstone National Park was the first, established in 1872. It is located in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. However, the oldest park in the National Park system is Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas. It was established as Hot Springs Reservation in 1832 (the concept of a National Park did not yet exist at the time). It was the first time that a piece of land had been set aside by the federal government to preserve its use by the people. Hot Springs Reservation was renamed Hot Springs National Park in 1921. Actually, the National Park Service did not exist until 1916, so Yellowstone's date of 1872 cannot be valid if you don't accept Hot Spring's date of 1832. The "facts" are that Congress established Hot Springs Arkansas Reservation as a National Park on April 20, 1832. On March 1st, 1872, Congress established Yellowstone as the second National Park. A National Park printing in 1921 listed Hot Springs National Park as the first and Yellowstone as the second, but sometime in the 1930s, someone in the park service decided that Hot Springs was too urban and that Yellowstone, with its wilderness spaces and park rangers, was a better representation of what a "park" should be. History was therefore, re-written.

How many parks are there in California?
AnswerThere are 388 national parks in the United States of America. For a complete list, go to: http://nps.seeamerica.org/That may be correct (it is close - the latest # is 391) if you include all National Park Service properties - but you need to differentiate between National Parks (of which there are 58), National Monuments, National Historic Sites, etc. And, of course, National Forests under the care of the Dept of the Interior.Actually, it is a common misconception that there are almost 400 National Parks in the United States. There are just under sixty (60) National PARKS. This 388 number includes National monuments and other historic sites. Parks would be, e.g., Yellowstone National Park. Muir Woods in California or The Statue of Liberty are NOT Parks, they are monuments and other sites that are park of the national parks system.
