Hello!

I host a live stream every week where we explore the National Parks together!

Before the stream, I research the park and help improve the park's Wikipedia pages. I also make a flight plan to showcase the park highlights and in case others want to fly along with me.

In the zip file you'll find:

• The .pln file with named waypoints (load this from the World Map screen of MSFS 2020)
• Relevant park map(s)
• A screenshot of where this flight plan goes relative to the park map
• MBTiles file(s) in case you have Foreflight or another app which supports these (this is how I overlay the flight plan and the park map when I fly around)
• ForeFlight .fpl file which matches the .pln in case you prefer ForeFlight (consider using a tool like Flight-Events as a GPS/AHRS device)

I hope you enjoy exploring the park as much as I enjoyed researching it!

All the best,
Jules Altis

P.s. I highly recommend pulling Wikipedia up on the side and looking at the park map while you explore.
P.p.s For this Yosemite flight, I highly recommend adding the excellent scenery from VFXSimmer: https://flightsim.to/file/384/yosemite-valley
