Admire Waterfalls

Yosemite's meadows and waterfalls are breathtaking, but it's crucial to stay on designated trails and boardwalks to protect sensitive vegetation. Obey signs near water features, as climbing slippery rocks or crossing posted areas can quickly become dangerous.

Track Your Trash

When riding buses or trams, keep track of your belongings and snack wrappers. Before leaving, scan your area to ensure you're not leaving trash behind. Always dispose of waste properly in trash or recycling bins.

While in Transit

Yosemite Valley experiences high visitor traffic with limited parking. Plan ahead to arrive early. Once parked or if staying onsite, use the free shuttle to explore. Carpooling or public transportation is also a great way to minimize congestion.

Protect the Wildlife

Yosemite is home to diverse wildlife, including black bears. Respect them by following speed limits and properly storing food, trash, and scented items like sunscreen or bug spray. Use the food storage lockers available at parking lots and campsites.
