Yosemite is a bucket-list National Park for its thundering waterfalls, ancient sequoias, and iconic hikes. And to add to the appeal, you can now find top-tier hotels and restaurants nearby to retreat after an adventure-packed day at the park. Whether you opt to conquer climbs like Half Dome and El Capitan or simply gaze upon them as you emerge at Tunnel View, eight-square-mile Yosemite Valley has the bulk of the park’s most famous attractions. The entire park is much more expansive, though, with nearly 1,200 square miles of land. You could spend months exploring the park and surrounding area, but for a weekend at Yosemite, here is what you can’t miss.
