Hiking in Yosemite
One of the best ways to experience Yosemite! View our printable hiking brochure.
This web site is dedicated to helping you gather the information you need for a memorable journey to Yosemite, and also to encourage you to explore the rest of Mariposa County, both as a home base from which to appreciate the Park, and as a delightful setting for other outdoor experiences.
Rafting mixes the serenity of a scenic river and the white-knuckle thrill of a plunging roller coaster. If you've never tried rafting before, the Merced River is an excellent place to test the waters, and there are many outfitters at many points along the river to choose from.
