Yosemite National Park
Tours

DNC Parks & Resorts at Yosemite offers bus tours year-round. Tours operate in Yosemite Valley all year, and to Glacier Point, Wawona & Mariposa Grove, and Tuolumne Meadows in summer.

The two-hour Valley Floor Tour is conducted by National Park Service rangers from May through October (weather permitting).

In addition, interpretive programs (nature & history walks) are offered year-round by National Park Service rangers, concessioner staff, and park partners.

All regularly scheduled programs are listed in Yosemite Today.

Self-guiding trails are available in several areas of the park:

The Bachelor and Three Graces  

Did You Know?
Giant sequoias are a fire adapted species. Their bark is fire resistant and fire helps open the sequoia cone and scatter the tiny seeds. Fire also clears forest debris from the mineral soil and provides a nutrient rich seed bed as well as clearing competing species.
