Yosemite National Park

With its towering rock walls, cascading waterfalls, deep valleys, grand meadows, ancient giant sequoias, and awe-inspiring scenery, Yosemite National Park is one of most captivating and inspiring destinations in California. The state's original wilderness park preserves 1,200 square miles of scenic lands along the central Sierra Nevada of eastern California. Rising above 13,000 feet, Yosemite NP offers explorers a sublime diversity of terrain, including alpine wilderness, groves of giant sequoias and the glacially carved Yosemite Valley with majestic waterfalls, unique rock formations and soaring cliffs.

Explore Yosemite National Park

Carved by glaciers, Yosemite is a natural monument to the scenery and serenity of the High Sierras. Hike, bike, and wander through mountains, verdant valleys, wild lands, sub-alpine meadows, and lush forests on over 850 miles of hiking and biking trails. Discover Yosemite's amazing treasures, including Yosemite Valley, Mariposa Grove's ancient giant sequoias, Glacier Point's spectacular view of Yosemite Valley and the high country, Tuolumne Meadows, Hetch Hetchy Reservoir and Yosemite Canyon lined with gigantic rock walls. Discover the world's tallest waterfalls - Yosemite Falls and Staircase Falls.

Hiking & Climbing at Yosemite National Park

Nearly 2 miles wide and 3,000 feet deep, Yosemite Valley is a wonderland of amazing rock formations and massive climbing walls. The most recognized symbol of Yosemite and a climber's utopia, Half Dome is a granite monolith that ascends 4,000 feet above the Valley floor. One of the country's biggest walls, the vertical face of Half Dome offers an extreme challenge for technical climbers. The largest natural granite structure in the world - towering 3,000 feet - El Capitan is a landmark for rock climbers and adventure junkies. Yosemite's most diabolic route is the climb from Lucifer's Ledge to the Oasis on the Glacier Point Apron. Hike up the picturesque trails to Glacier Point, the most famous vantage in Yosemite, or to the top of Sentinel Rock or Yosemite Point for inspiring views of the expansive Valley. A trek to the edge of Taft Point affords awesome views of El Capitan and the beautiful valley landscapes.
