San Francisco Yosemite Travel Guide｜Not to be missed!

🌈Attraction features: Yosemite National Park is a must-see wonderland on a trip to the western US! It features a variety of landscapes, including waterfalls, valleys, meadows, rivers, lakes, shallows, forests, and boulders. It is a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, retreat to the mountains, and cool off in the summer.✨ · 🎟️Ticket information: 📆Open 24 hours a day, year-round 🎫Tickets: $35 per car for 7 days. We recommend using the US National Park Annual Pass. ⚠️Reservations are required for some dates from April to October ($2 per car). 🕐️Opening hours: 24 hours 💗Other tips: 📍Attractions in the park: The main attractions are relatively close to each other, but there is no Internet, so remember to prepare an offline map. 🏨Accommodation recommendations: There are several accommodation points nearby: El Portal (the closest), Yosemite West Gate, Mariposa (convenient for restaurants and gas stations), Oakhurst, and Fish Camp. 📷Attraction tour Attractions along the park road 📍Tunnel View: A viewing point next to the parking lot where you can see Half Dome and Yosemite Falls 📍Bridalveil Fall: The waterfall viewing point is quite nice. 📍Yosemite Falls: I think it's better than Bridalveil Fall. There is a wooden walkway to get closer to the falls, and a great viewing spot → Lower Yosemite Fall 📍Yosemite Valley Chapel: A popular chapel with a waterfall 📍Sentinel Bridge: A classic bridge, best viewed in the fall 📍El Capitan: This granite rock can be seen from the road if you're in a hurry, or you can get closer to it at El Capitan Meadow. 📍Yosemite View: A great spot for landscape photography, with streams, trees, and rocks, beautiful in all seasons 📍Glacier Point: You can overlook the entire park from the top of the mountain. The road is only open from May to October each year, and it takes 1 hour to get there from the visitor center. The key point🌟🌟 How to photograph the firefall 1. Non-disabled cars park at Yosemite Falls Parking, and follow the crowd to El Capitan. If you have time, we recommend taking the dirt road through the woods instead of the paved road. The lake is a great place to take photos, and the air is better. 2. Arrive at the shooting location around 4:40 pm. There are a lot of people, so you won't miss it. There are many photographers with large cameras on the side and further forward. If you're using a phone, we recommend going further forward to a more frontal location. Professional photographers don't need my recommendation! The shooting location is shown in picture 4. 3. Finally, we successfully photographed the firefall around 5:30 pm! The predicted time for the 2024 firefall is shown in picture 5. Relax, if you go too early, you'll just be cold. There are many places to take photos. 4. Phone photography tips: Lower the brightness after focusing to make the colors more vivid! Don't forget to turn around and take a picture of the golden mountain after photographing the firefall.
