Itinerary
In the early morning, as you enter Yosemite Valley with the mountain dawn, your first stop is Tunnel View. As you emerge from the tunnel, the full panorama of Yosemite Valley unfolds before you, with El Capitan, Bridalveil Fall, and other scenic wonders spread out in view - an iconic, classic photo spot in the park. Continue down into the valley to Bridalveil Fall, where light, airy water drifts with the wind and mist fills the air. A short trail takes you to the base of the fall, where you can feel the cool spray up close. Next, head to Yosemite Falls. As the tallest waterfall in North America, its tiered waters surge and cascade down towering granite cliffs. Follow the gentle trail to the base of the falls to face the powerful flow and feel the majestic force of nature. Finally, arrive at El Capitan and look up at this colossal granite monolith, one of the world's largest. Its towering, imposing cliff face is also a sacred destination for climbers around the globe. Simply standing here lets you deeply experience the grandeur and awe of stone and mountain.
