What to Do in Yosemite National Park

At Yosemite National Park it's all about the view. Want proof? Then consider the panorama of Yosemite Valley as seen from the east end of the Wawona Tunnel, where you emerge out of darkness to behold an absolutely picture-perfect landscape dominated by the vertical granite face of El Capitan and the cascading beauty of Bridalveil Falls (surely a change of scene on par with what Dorothy witnessed after that tornado dropped her in Oz). Or the Mist Trail, where little rainbows created by flying spray from Vernal Falls hang in the air for one enchantingly brief moment. Or the valley on a frosty winter morning, when sheets of frozen spray from Yosemite Falls spectacularly break loose from the cliffs in a succession of thundering booms. Or the park on a moonlit winter night, bare branches glinting with hard ice, the sky impossibly clear and brimming with thousands of diamond-bright stars.
