With awe-inspiring vistas and breathtaking plunging waterfalls, majestic Yosemite National Park can be experienced in all four seasons. No matter how many times you've visited, Yosemite has the unique ability to amaze, charm and surprise.
Covering 1,100 square miles, this vast park was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985 and attractions around four million visitors each year, most during the summer. Its sheer size means that most will only see a fraction of the many amazing natural wonders, so why not stay a few days and truly immerse yourself into the great outdoors.
Yosemite Valley, with its impressive...
Yosemite National Park is open year-round and the best time to visit does depend on your interest. Summer is the most popular time and gets very busy, so start early and prepare to queue! Waterfalls tend to dry up so focus your time in the High Country areas of the park. Spring is a wonderful time to visit, particularly to see the thundering waterfalls and blooming wildflowers. Autumn brings a firework display of colours as the leaves change and as days are generally mild, it’s a great time for hiking and biking. Winter brings cold weather and the park takes on an almost mystical air. For winter sports enthusiasts, it’s possible to enjoy skiing at the Yosemite Ski and Snowboard Area.
