Despite its remote location, Yosemite bursts with tourists every year. Rock climbers and backpackers come for the granite rock walls and remote alpine getaways. Families come for the mountain and valley scenery, including waterfalls, meadows, streams, and forests. Before your visit, be sure to read the important safety information--including bear-safety and fire-safety information--on the park's safety page. Click here.
