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:
