Yosemite Falls and Walls Patches

What better way is there to experience Yosemite than to take a walk or hike? Listed below are five day hikes originating in Yosemite Valley. Use your common sense to avoid accidents and injuries, and always remember to bring your own drinking water on hikes. Remember to stop by a park visitor center before your hike to get current trail and weather conditions, and to prepare for thee unexpected; carry food and water, rain gear, and emergency including matches and first aid supplies. It is wise to carry a flashlight in case you return after dark.

Detailed maps and hiking guides are available for purchase at park visitor centers and gift shops. Please remember that dogs and other pets, bicycles and mountain bikes, and motor vehicles are not allowed on park trails. Pets are allowed on paved paths on the floor of Yosemite Valley and must be kept on a leash at all times. Horses and mules have the right-of-way on trails. Hikers should step to the uphill side of the trail, if possible, and remain quiet while animals pass. Do not attempt to touch them.
