Yosemite National Park

Yosemite National Park sits along Yosemite Park Way in the heart of California's Sierra Nevada, offering one of the most celebrated natural landscapes in the world. Visitors come for the iconic tunnel view drive, cascading waterfalls like Vernal and Lower Yosemite Falls, sweeping meadows, and sunset panoramas from spots like Taft Point. Dining options are scattered throughout the park, from cafeteria-style eateries near the falls to freshly made pizza and casual bites by the river. The park suits families, solo adventurers, and everyone in between, with trails ranging from quick, easy walks to more challenging hikes. Starting in 2026, the park will no longer require a timed entrance reservation, so access is more open than ever.
