Yosemite National Park - Hiking

What Yosemite certainly has no lack of is high elevation vistas and dramatic waterfalls. A hike, whether short or long and strenuous, always has something spectacular as its destination. Wapama Falls, Sentinel Dome and the tricky, day-long ascent of the Half Dome are just a few of these destinations. A grove of giant sequoias and a bubbling carbonated stream are a couple of the more atypical ones.
