Yosemite National Park is a masterpiece of granite cliffs, plunging waterfalls, ancient giant sequoias, and sweeping meadows framed by the Sierra Nevada. Visitors flock to Yosemite Valley for jaw-dropping views of El Capitan, Half Dome, and Bridalveil Fall. Spring brings roaring cascades like Yosemite Falls, while summer reveals lush meadows and sunlit granite walls perfect for hiking and rock climbing. In autumn, golden leaves reflect in the Merced River, and winter blankets the valley in serene snow, ideal for snowshoeing and photography. The park offers over 750 miles of trails, from easy walks to challenging summit climbs, along with scenic drives like Glacier Point Road and Tioga Road. Wildlife abounds, from black bears and mule deer to countless bird species. Beyond the valley, explore Tuolumne Meadows, the Mariposa Grove of giant sequoias, and high-country lakes. Whether you seek a weekend getaway or a backcountry trek, Yosemite delivers world-class natural beauty in every season.
