The Best Things to Do in Yosemite National Park
Measuring almost 1,200 square miles, there’s no shortage of things to do or see within the Yosemite National Park. However, deciding what to do can be tough if you only have one day to visit. June Lake is found near the park’s eastern border, which means you’re close to Yosemite Valley and all it has to offer. To help you make the most of your time at this incredible spot, we’ve made a list of some of our favorite things to do. For an easy way to reach different points in the park, hop on the Yosemite Valley Shuttle System.
- Head to Tunnel View to see breathtaking views. This viewpoint offers sweeping views of Yosemite Valley, including well-known landmarks such as El Capitan, Bridalveil Fall, and Half Dome.
- Visit some of the museums and visitor centers. The Yosemite Exploration Center features exhibits detailing the park’s geology, while the Happy Isles Art and Nature Center is perfect for nature-exploring families.
- Go for a leisurely hike to the base of Lower Yosemite Falls, which is North America’s tallest waterfall.
- Check out some of the other incredible hikes in the Valley. Popular options include the Bridalveil Falls Trail, the Valley Loop Trail, and the Mirror Lake Loop.
- End your visit by doing a bit of stargazing. The park’s lower light population means you can look up and easily see countless stars. There are several places to go stargazing throughout the year, including Tunnel View, El Capitan Meadow, and Glacier Point.
