Yosemite National Park is a wonderful place to go celebrate the vernal awakening. In spring, much of the park's higher country is still laden with snow, but elsewhere signs of seasonal rebirth are unmistakable. With temperatures warming and rivers running beautifully strong, a Sierra Nevada spring is, in a word, unforgettable--and our
Scenic Wonders Yosemite accommodations are the perfect way to enjoy it.
Waterfalls
This is the premier season to enjoy
Yosemite's famous waterfalls, many of which reach their peak flow in May or June. Whether you're marveling at the towering, three-part plunge of Yosemite Falls above Yosemite Valley, the frothing churn of
Waterwheel Falls in the Tuolumne River backcountry, or any number of unnamed seasonal cataracts and streamers, the Yosemite spring is waterfall-watching on a world-class scale.
Wildflowers
Wildflowers commence their bloom by late spring in Yosemite, although the higher-elevation show naturally peaks later with the retreat of the snowpack. Particularly in the lower-elevation foothills on your approach to the area, and later in the park's valleys,
you've got a good chance of enjoying flushes of poppies, redbuds, shooting stars and mule-ears as the season progresses.
Other Attractions
Trails in Yosemite Valley, Wawona, and Hetch Hetchy Valley are mostly snow-free by April or May, and the pleasant daytime temperatures make spring a rewarding time to go hiking. Keep your eyes peeled for
wildlife, too: Plenty of warblers, tanagers and other songbirds migrate through the Sierra this time of year, and by late spring you might spot black-tailed deer fawns or fox kits.
Our
Yosemite accommodations give you the ideal perch from which to explore the park as it emerges from winter guise. Come enjoy the dappled flowers and roaring waterfalls with us!
