About Yosemite Valley Loop Trail

The Yosemite Valley Loop Trail is different than other hikes in this park because it connects many of the top highlights into one single loop.

Dashed Trail

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.

Dashed Trail

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.
