Q1: Is Yosemite short for "Yosemite Valley"?

Usually, Yosemite refers to the national park.

Thank you for your help.
Accorditing to the dictionary, the definition is as follows.
-------------
a valley in E California, in the Sierra Nevada Mountains: a part of Yosemite National Park. 7 miles (11 km) long.
-------------
So if somebody says'"Let's go to Yosemite." Does "Yosemite" mean "Yosemite Valley" or "Yosemite National Park"?
