Yosemite National Park has long been a place of inspiration for artists,climbers,and nature lovers.

Yosemite Falls

Repeatedly popping into view over treetops and around comers as you drive through the valley,the falls look different from every angle, and it's impossible to take your eyes off. You don't have to hike or even get out of your car to appreciate this waterfall, but the most complete view of the falls is from the start of the Yosemite Falls hike, along the route on the left side of the river. You can walk right to the base of the falls with minimal effort and feel the mist sweeping over you.

Half Dome

Half Dome is one of Yosemite's most famous sites and particularly well-known in the climbing world for being one of the first "big climbs”. This granite icon looks much different depending on the angle you are viewing it from. Looking up at the sheer rock face from the valley, the enormity of the wall is obvious, and you can appreciate why climbers have been drawn here.The best place to view it is from the lookout at Glacier Point. Fromhere, you get a true picture of the rock and how much higher it stands than the surrounding mountains.

El Capitan

Popular among climbers, El Capitan is a 3,000-foot sheer rock face on the north side of Yosemite Valley. Although it may not seem like it, El Capitan is actually 1,000 feet higher than the face of Half Dome. El Capitan gained interest with the free solo climb of Alex Honnold in June of 2017,and the Academy Award winning documentary film, Free Solo. He became the first person to climb El Capitan without ropes, and completely unaided.

Tunnel View

The most classic view of Yosemite Valley is from Tunnel View.This vista,which will feel very familiar to most visitors,stretches out to El Capitan on the left,Bridalveil Fall on the right,Half Dome in the distance, and also takes in the lush valley at the base of the huge granite walls.The best time to appreciate this scene is in the aftermoon,when the walls are bathed in sunlight.
