Fun Yosemite Attractions
Yosemite National Park is a popular year-round vacation destination — enjoy
fabulous mountain and valley views, fun outdoor
recreational activities,
gourmet dining, shopping, rejuvenating spa treatments... and more!
Half Dome
Magnificent Half Dome (pictured above) is one of the most spectacular sights
in Yosemite
Valley — and one of its most
photographed areas. The sheer granite dome rises 4,737 feet above the valley
floor — it's
popular with hikers the world over.
Glacier Point
Glacier Point is a "must-see" during your visit to Yosemite.
The scenic Glacier Point overlook stands at over 7,000 feet about Yosemite Valley — the
views are absolutely breathtaking.

Glacier Point is located on the south wall of Yosemite Valley,
above Curry Village — it's about an hour's drive from the valley on Glacier
Point Road, off Hwy 41.

Vernal Falls
Vernal Falls
is one of the shortest trails in Yosemite National Park — it's also one
of the most spectacular. Expect crowds, especially during peak season. Don't
forget your digital camera — there are plenty of great photo ops.
