Land of Monoliths
Yosemite is home to Half Dome, El Capitan, and numerous other iconic monoliths. With these awesome rock faces come breathtaking waterfalls, spectacular vistas, and some of the most challenging and rewarding hikes to be found.
Visiting Yosemite
The dramatic setting draws intense crowds to the valley floor. But some savvy planning can make for a scenic and stress-free experience among this intense landscape. Hit popular trails early in the morning for better chances at spotting more wildlife and fewer people. Spend busy afternoons exploring more remote regions of the park. And find an overlook to savor the sun setting on the valley monoliths.
