Yosemite National Park is home to some of the most beautiful landscapes in California and it offers visitors plenty of opportunities for sightseeing and adventuring.
If you want to enjoy the classic Yosemite views without the painful elevation gains that most Yosemite trails entail, the Yosemite Valley Loop is for you!
Yosemite Valley Loop follows a fairly flat path making it a great option for families and those who want to get their legs warmed up before attempting one of the steeper more challenging day hikes.
Many of the lower elevation trees like Bigleaf Maple and Black Oak change colors to bright yellows and oranges while the higher elevation alpine trees stay evergreen.
