Yosemite is the park to go!! Forget Grand Canyon/Hoover Dam and go to Yosemite National Park for the next family vacation.
You won't regret it. Swimming in the lake is so cooool during the summer. (not sure if they still let you do that)

Yosemite is famous for Half Dome, El Capitan, and Yosemite Falls. Yosemite Falls is one of the highest waterfalls in the world at 2,425 feet. Split into three sections Upper Falls, Middle Cascades, and Lower Falls. The upper falls is the greatest single unobstructed freefall in the world.
El Capitan is the largest piece of exposed granite in the world at over 3,000 feet from base to top.
There is a lot about Yosemite that makes it great. I suggest reading a book about Yosemite or just going there someday. You won't regret doing it once you do.
