Destination: Yosemite National Park

Located in Central California's Sierra Nevada mountain range, Yosemite National Park encompasses an incredible 1,170 square miles of breathtaking natural splendor, ranging in altitude from 2,000 feet to more than 13,000 feet above sea level. It's hard to believe that this tranquil oasis is just hours from bustling cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles and Reno. And though the pristine environment of the Yosemite Valley is passionately protected, the Park does offer a host of year-round conveniences and guest services so that visitors can make the most of their experience while still observing a respect for the land.

DNC Parks & Resorts at Yosemite, Inc., the Park's primary concessionaire, maintains a variety of lodging and dining options, souvenir and supply outlets, transportation and tour and recreational services, all of which are outlined within this site for easy reference and planning. Explore all this site has to offer by using the navigation on the left. Then come experience the awe-inspiring beauty of Yosemite for yourself.
