Yosemite National Park vacation travel guide
Yosemite is an American story unlike any other. Let's go through this national park from its high country to its waterfalls, its towering sequoia (redwood) groves to its valley meadows, from its popular valley to its alpine lakes.

When ready, browse vacation packages to Yosemite National Park (expedia.com).

Yosemite National Park sits on the western slopes of California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains. Most visitors spend their vacation in Yosemite Valley, which despite being only 7.5 miles long and about one mile wide, packs in more jaw-dropping scenery than just about any other place on Earth.

Visit Tunnel View and stand before a panorama that’s reduced generations of visitors to silence. The Yosemite Valley ring road follows the banks of the Merced River, which shifts in character as it thunders from the valley walls, before gently winding across the valley floor.

The ring road is dotted with trailheads that lead to 800 miles of hiking trails. Drive along Tioga Road, one of the USA’s most scenic highways. Fill the lungs with sweet alpine air at Olmsted Point, refreshed by the waters of Tenaya Lake.

Then spend the day at Tuolumne (pronounced \two wall la mee\) Meadow, the traditional summer grounds of the Ahwaneechee. For now, enjoy watching this travel guide as much as Expedia enjoyed making it.
