Hikes in Yosemite National Park
Find Your Trail
Experience Yosemite one trail at a time, with routes that shift and come alive through every season. From spring’s rushing waterfalls along the Mist Trail to sunlit summer days in Tuolumne Meadows, golden valley loops in fall, and quiet winter paths under fresh snow, each hike offers a different way to see the park. Whether you’re seeking staple viewpoints or something more off the beaten path, these are some of the best hikes in Yosemite National Park.
Hiking in Summer
Long days and open trails make summer ideal for exploring Yosemite at its fullest. From high-country routes in Tuolumne Meadows to iconic Valley viewpoints, this is the season to go further, stay longer, and take it all in.
Hiking in Fall
As the pace softens, fall brings quieter trails and changing color to the Valley floor. Crisp air and golden meadows set the tone for a more relaxed way to explore.
Hiking in Winter
Winter transforms Yosemite into something quieter and more still. Snow-covered trails and peaceful surroundings create space to slow down and experience the landscape in a different way.
Hiking in Spring
With waterfalls at their peak and wildflowers beginning to bloom, spring is one of the most dynamic times to hit the trail. Expect rushing water, fresh air, and a landscape coming back to life.
