Just as water is vital to our bodies, water is vital to Yosemite's ecosystems. Water in the Tuolumne and Merced watersheds begins in the high country, moves downstream through creeks, and finally joins powerful rivers travelling toward the Pacific Ocean. Take a moment and listen to the water flowing through the Fen at Happy Isles on its way to join the Merced River. Those water molecules are on an important journey.

At 6:52 pm on July 10, 1996, two blocks with a combined volume of about 30,000 cubic meters and weighing about 90,000 tons broke loose from high on the southeast part of Glacier Point, hitting the valley floor near Happy Isles. In terms of volume, this equates to about 2000 SUVs dropping onto the valley floor at the same time. The impacts of the blocks generated an airblast with wind speeds up to 280 miles per hour, comparable to

Yosemite’s hidden gem! The trailhead is located at Tuolumne Meadows, roughly a 75-minute drive from Yosemite Valley. From the trailhead to the Glen Aulin High Sierra Camp, it’s about 5.5 miles one way, but the first 4 miles to the footbridge are relatively easy, with minimal elevation change (less than 100 feet). The well-marked trail winds through towering pines, open meadows, and granite flats. After crossing the footbridge, the trail follows the Tuolumne River as it cascades past a series of

The trail climbs more than 1,000 feet in elevation, with the final stretch including over 600 steep granite steps carved into the cliffside. What makes it extra challenging? The mist from Vernal Fall in spring and early summer soaks the en

FIVE of our favorite views of Yosemite Valley 👇 🌲 Taft Point - the hike from the trailhead off of Glacier Point Rd. to Taft Point is easy to moderate. 2.2 miles round trip through beautiful forests to a breathtaking overlook make this trail a “must do.” Glacier Point Road was closed in 2022, but will hopefully be open in 2023.🌲 Yosemite Valley View - for a quick and easy view of the majestic Yosemite Valley, stop here! This lookout sits off of Northside Drive and near Pohono Bridge. From here
