Yosemite features 1,200 uninterrupted miles of dramatic deep valleys, lofty peaks and magnificent glaciers that are sure to take your breath away. With a scenic topography and natural wonders, little wonder that Yosemite has drawn visitors for over a century. Hikers love the region as it features innumerable trails for all skills throughout Yosemite Valley including the popular White Wolf. Come winters, and this is the hub of California’s cross-country skiing and snowboarding (Badger Pass ski zone).
The allure of the Grand Canyon remains unmatched. With its scenic views, the canyon draws sightseers and day trippers in thousands. You can visit the North or South Rim via a hike or a mule ride. While the South Rim is more sought after by those looking for more luxurious amenities, the North Rim is less touristy and more suitable for campers. Enjoy everything from half day tours to overnight rides that allow visitors to get to the canyon bottom at Phantom Ranch. More courageous travelers can enjoy overnight backpacking trips through the canyon’s innumerable trails or go whitewater rafting over Colorado rapids.
