Yosemite National Park

The world-renowned views of Yosemite National Park are infamous for the steep granite cliffs, tremendous stretches of land loaded with giant trees, and majestic waterfalls. From Glacier Point, see stunning sights like Yosemite Valley, Half Dome, and Yosemite Falls (accessible by car from late May through November). Explore the park to see other landmarks like El Capitan, Bridalveil Falls, and the gorgeous Tuolumne Meadows.  Or let someone else do the driving and take advantage of YARTS (Yosemite Area Transportation System)--a regularly scheduled, fixed public bus route that operates year-round. YARTS takes travelers into Yosemite and allows you to enjoy the scenery in a comfortable, air-conditioned bus safely.
