About this activity

Discover Yosemite National Park with our self-guided tour, allowing you to explore one of the world's most awe-inspiring landscapes at your own pace. Drive into Yosemite Valley where the sheer granite face of El Capitan rises 900 meters from the valley floor and the iconic Half Dome stands sentinel over meadows and forests below. Watch Yosemite Falls thunder 739 meters in the tallest waterfall in North America, stand among giant sequoias in Mariposa Grove where the Grizzly Giant has lived for nearly 2,000 years, and ascend to Glacier Point for panoramas across the valley to the High Sierra crest. Follow the Tioga Road through subalpine meadows at 2,600 meters in Tuolumne, hike the Mist Trail alongside the cascade of Vernal Fall, discover the reflections of Mirror Lake beneath Half Dome's sheer northwest face, and explore Hetch Hetchy's granite-ringed reservoir — a valley that John Muir fought to save and that rivals Yosemite itself in grandeur.
