This trail map highlights major hiking routes in Yosemite National Park. It helped me plan which trails to explore during my first visit.
This is one of my favorite hikes. The trail takes you up alongside Vernal Fall and Nevada Fall—be prepared to get wet! I loved how close you get to the thundering water, especially in the spring when the flow is strongest.
Tip: Wear waterproof shoes and bring a rain jacket. The granite steps get slippery!
This trail is flat and peaceful, following Tenaya Creek toward a serene lake that reflects the surrounding cliffs. I liked this one for its quiet atmosphere and chance to spot wildlife. Great morning hike.
Tip: Best in early spring when the lake has the most water. Bring a snack and enjoy the view!
