5 Mountains in Yosemite National Park That You Shouldn't Miss
Tucked into the mountains of California, Yosemite National Park is renowned for its granite cliffs and waterfalls. Half Dome and El Capitan are two of the formations made famous by photographer Ansel Adams. The valley is open year-round for camping, hiking, and climbing. Traffic is congested during peak season and park rangers encourage visitors to use the free shuttle system. For upscale visits, the Ahwahnee Hotel, built in 1927, is chic and luxurious.

Hiking up this steep seven-kilometer ridge, it might occur to hikers that its name, Cathedral Range, derives either from the spectacular view if offers or from the fact that it feels like youre scaling a cathedral.

The highest point in Yosemite National Park offers a fantastic view at its peak, where other peaks seem close enough to grasp. The climb up is hairy, though, and full of hungry bears.

This rock formation is almost part of the Nevada Fall view. It’s hard to imagine one without the other. There are also some great views of Liberty Cap looking up from the top of Nevada Fall.
