*Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias*

There can be nothing in the world more beautiful than the Yosemite, the groves of the giant sequoias... our people should see to it that they are preserved for their children and their children's children forever, with the majestic beauty all unmarred.

*Glacier Point*

Glacier Point (accessible by car in summer and early fall) offers spectacular views of Yosemite Valley, Hald Dome, and Vernal and Nevada Falls as well as a panorama of the High Sierra.

*Tunnel View*

From this breathtaking viewpoint into Yosemite Valley, you can see three of its remarkable features: El Capitan, Half Dome, and Bridalveil Fall.

*Bridalveil Falls*

Trail to Bridalveil Fall: Plunging 620 feet / 189 meters to the Valley floor. Prepare to be enchanted by the natural wonder that is Bridalveil Fall. Nestled in the heart of Yosemite National Park, this ethereal waterfall is a sight to behold and a symbol of pure, unspoiled beauty.

*Swinging Bridge Picnic Area*

A bridge with a view: Perched over the tranquil Merced River, the Swinging Bridge provides an unobstructed view of some of Yosemite's most iconic landmarks, including El Capitan, Yosemite Falls, and Bridalveil Fall. For photographers, it's a dream come true.

*Yosemite Village Store*

Essential eco-friendly souvenirs, food, gear, and local crafts await you.

*Lower Yosemite Fall Trail*

Experience the power and majesty of Lower Yosemite Falls, one of North America's tallest waterfalls. A short, family-friendly hike or stroll brings you to the base of this natural wonder. An unforgettable highlight of your journey.

*Valley View*

Visit Yosemite's renowned Valley View on Northside Drive. Capture iconic sights like El Capitan, Bridaveil Fall, and the serene Merced River. A photographer's dream, it's the perfect spot for a stunning, breathtaking view.

As you bid farewell to Yosemite's majestic landscapes, the journey back to San Francisco is a scenic adventure in itself. This route offers a serene transition from nature's wonders to San Francisco, leaving you with lasting memories of your California adventure.
