Many make the wise choice of joining convenient Yosemite tours from San Francisco with a professional guide. Popular Yosemite bus tours bring visitors to the park not just for sightseeing but also a variety of fun activities.

Hike to Yosemite Falls

Avid hikers will thoroughly relish the day hike that takes you close to the Upper Yosemite Falls. On average the hike takes 6-8 hours (round trip) and winds along one of the park’s oldest trails. If you leave after breakfast, by lunch you could be near the top of North America’s tallest waterfall.

The trek never fails to disappoint. Apart from the falls, you get a bird’s eye view of the peaks of the Sierra Mountains, Half Dome mountain in the distance, and other well-known landmarks in Yosemite.

Although the hike is steep and rocky in parts, the challenge is rewarded with wondrous examples of the park’s well-preserved natural history.

See Half Dome and El Capitan

Mountainous rock formations abound in Yosemite. Some are known for their magnificent panoramic views from the top while others are iconic landmarks standing unmistakably apart from the surroundings.

Two of Yosemite’s most famous rock formations are the 5000-feet high Half Dome and 300-feet high El Capitan, with Half Dome perhaps the park’s most recognizable landmark. One of the best places to gaze up at Half Dome is from the eastern Yosemite Valley. You can also opt for hiking or rock climbing to the top!

El Capitan is a favorite with rock climbers. Visitors can see it from a point on the valley floor or across the stunning Bridalveil Falls. Glacier Point, which is accessible by car in the summer months, offers a commanding view of the Yosemite Valley and high country, including Yosemite Falls and Half Dome.

Explore the Giant Sequoia Trees

The Mariposa Grove of ancient sequoia trees is a treat for nature-lovers. Visit between spring and fall and these massive sequoias will inspire you with respect for nature. The giant sequoias are a must-see attraction in Yosemite for families with children who will be enthralled by the size of the trees.
