Beautiful Yosemite National Park
WOW! That was our first reaction upon seeing Yosemite Valley for the very first time — and its wowed us ever since.

Yosemite National Park is one of the most beautiful destinations in Northern California... if not in the world.

Famous for its natural beauty, majestic granite cliffs, giant Sequoias and spectacular flowing waterfalls — it's no surprise that Yosemite draws millions of visitors from around the world.

One such visitor was world-renowned photographer Ansel Adams — his spectacular black-and-white photographs captured the beauty of Yosemite Valley like no other.

Yosemite Valley offers visitors countless year-round attractions.

Enjoy scenic hiking and biking during a Spring, Summer or Fall visit. Hike to Bridalveil Falls and Yosemite Falls — two of the valley's most popular waterfalls. Enjoy walking among Yosemite's Giant Sequoias in the Mariposa, Tuolumne, or Merced Groves.

El Capitan, Yosemite's famous granite cliff, is one of the world's most popular climbing destinations.

Hike to the top of Half Dome, one of the valley's most photograhed attractions.

During winter months, Yosemite offers downhill skiing at Badger Pass — as well as cross-country skiing and snowshoeing at Badger Pass, Crane Flat and the Mariposa Grove.
