Yosemite National Park

Yosemite National Park pairs granite walls and waterfalls with a trail network that ranges from paved valley loops to serious high-country routes. It rewards planning: permits, seasons, and crowds all shape a good trip.

Weather

Warm, dry summers in the valley; snow closes high roads in winter.

RespectHazards to plan for

• heat in the valley
• fast water near falls
• altitude in the high country
