Is the Yosemite actually a super volcano?

Answer 1

Yellowstone National Park is a super volcano.

Yellowstone is over a "hot spot" which is why there are geysers there. The hot spot blew millions of years ago leaving a caldera where the geysers are.

Yellowstone is a volcano but do not go expecting an eruption unless you can wait a few million years.

Answer 2

Yes, Yosemite National Park is located on the site of a supervolcano. The last major eruption of the Yosemite supervolcano occurred over 700,000 years ago and was responsible for creating the volcanic features in the park such as Half Dome and El Capitan. However, the chances of another major eruption in the near future are considered to be low.
