Fallen Wawona Tunnel Tree

Experience the enormity of Yosemite Valley’s glacially carved granite peaks when you gaze upon this distinctive formation and rock-climbing landmark.

Be impressed by nature and experience a feeling of quiet mightiness. Feel the greatness of a natural wonder as you sit at its base.

You may hear these thundering falls, which are among the top 10 tallest in the world, before you see them in California’s Yosemite National Park.

Yosemite National Park is one of the world’s most celebrated open spaces, forming the heart of a long strip of protected land that runs north-to-south along California’s eastern border. Imposing rock formations rise over mirror-like lakes, peaceful meadows and shady forests. Strike out on the park’s miles of hiking, ou and horse-riding trails, or head east to discover world-class skiing and snowboarding resorts. This is the American wilderness at its best – a grand landscape of granite monoliths, pine forests, crashing waterfalls and historic Gold Rush towns.

Be greeted by the thunderous waterfall that plunges into Yosemite Valley from high above when you reach the end of a pleasant wooded pathway.

You can take time to visit Yosemite Falls Trailhead during your travels to Yosemite Village. Stroll along the riverfront or discover the area's waterfalls.
