Trip Motif Wildlife Natural History Seasons Of Yosemite : Journey Highlights

Go deep into the beautiful Yosemite Valley on this journey, to transcend time and retrace the steps that inspired John Muir. Yosemite is a treasure of waterfalls, towering cliffs, monumental rock faces, expansive vistas, and impressive, imponderable groves of giant sequoias. Near the south end of the park, walking in the Mariposa Grove among the gargantuan trees is a moving experience you’ll never forget. You’ll also hike, walk, and witness the park’s other iconic features, such as El Capitan, Half Dome, Glacier Point, Bridalveil Fall, and Lower Yosemite Falls. Moving farther off the beaten path you’ll hike in Hetch Hetchy too, Yosemite’s lesser-traveled secret.
