I'd take "Yosemite" in 1 and 2 as the national park. When referring to Yosemite Valley itself, we usually include the word "Valley."
3 is incorrect. You don't need "the" -- and I think 3 and 5 mean about the same thing.
4 makes good sense.
3 and 5 make some sense because you can walk around the valley, but you'd be hiking in mountains if you went to other parts of the park. And if you decide to scale El Capitan, you'd be rock climbing!

1. Yosemite is famous for its natural wonders.
2. We arrived at Yosemite in the afternoon.
=====================
In the sentences above, what does "Yosemite" mean?
Is it Yosemite Valley or Yosemite National Park?

It could be either, but I would bet on the Park.
========================================
Thank you for your help.
3. I walked around the Yosemite with my friends.
4. I walked around Yosemite Valley with my friends.
5. I walked around Yosemite National Park with my friends.
(Does #3 mean #4 or #5? In #3, 'the ' is before 'Yosemite.')
