Fabulous, educated, omnipresent and unhurried rangers. Wonderful educational programs (the John Muir program moved my 9 year old to tears, and both my 7 and 9 year olds loved the Buffalo Soldier program--sit them in the front for this one) Great shuttle service. fyi Mosquitos in May! They are easily deterred by repellent sold at gift stores, but don't be... More

Great views of the waterfalls. We were there in May when the snow was still melting. Did not see much wildlife - only some mule deer. Yosemite is beautiful for its views but if you want wildlife viewing, better go to some of the other national parks (yellowstone, tetons, rockies, smokies). I was shocked at how crowded it was in...

I was surprised to see that Yosemite had so many water falls. The month of May is the best time to view these falls since the water flow slows down or ends after May. My favorite spot was Glacier Point. The road is full of curves and you have to be careful. However, the views of the park are spectacular... More

Ansel Adams used his photography to describe the Yosemite Valley - a wise choice since words are totally inadequate. It is truly a magical place where the landscape is breathtaking and the light changes every minute of the day. Any photographer should plan to spend - at a minimum - one full day at the park, from sunrise to sunset... More

This valley is a spiritual place, old history, science, mother nature, all combined singing a sweet sound of water flowing through the earth. Sounds silly, but it's something you can't describe, you just need to see it yourself. I've heard that for years, until I saw it for myself. I went bike riding on the bike path, and it was... More

The Yosemtie is great and very big area with an super wildlife. There is so much to do and see, the falls, the Mammoth Trees of Mariposa and Frezno, the high mountains around the park and also the driving to the park. And not forgett the Yosemite Museum. This park is with the yellowstone the best parks ever seen in... More

This was our first visit to Yosemite and I know we'll return. We drove from New York to visit places we've only read about. Yosemite is spectacular. The major sites in Yosemite Valley, El Caiptan, Yosemite Falls and Half Dome, are magnificent. Every time you turn, the site has a different look. The short hike up to the Falls is... More

What a beautiful place. The water flow was just past peak which meant all the falls were really putting on a display. We spent two days and could have spent much more. Everywhere you look you see spectacular views. We camped at the Merced River. Tranquility base for sure. More

This is one of the best sites in california for romance and serenity, peaceful and beautiful, my family loved it.This was more than a few years ago and I plan on going back next spring with my new husband to camp and relax. More
