Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias : Walk beneath trees older than empires, including the Grizzly Giant. Step through the California Tunnel Tree and feel the forest’s cool air. Tunnel View, Yosemite Valley : Stop at the overlook to see El Capitan, Half Dome, and Bridalveil Fall lined up in one sweep. Visit early or late for softer light and fewer cars. Bass Lake : Paddle a kayak along quiet coves at sunrise and watch ospreys hunt. Swim from sandy edges and picnic under pines. Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad : Board a narrow-gauge steam train for a loop through tall ponderosa. Pan for gold and browse the small logging museum before you go.
