Biking

Explore on Two Wheels

Where is this? See map

When you arrive, park your vehicle and explore Yosemite with two wheels. Biking is one of the easiest, most fun ways to ensure you see all the highlights at Yosemite National Park. Yosemite Valley is flat, which makes for easy riding along our 12 miles of designated paths. All rental bikes are available first-come, first-served – reservations are only available for ADA bicycles (hand-crank bicycles, and tandem bicycles for visually impaired guests). Before you begin your biking trip, be sure to review the trail map and familiarize yourself with our biking rules.

Standard bicycles for adults and children and helmets are available at all locations. Tag-along bikes and trailers for children are available at the Curry Village and Yosemite Valley Lodge locations. We also offer a select number of accessible bikes for those with physical and vision limitations.

Please note that locks for bicycles are not included in the rental. If you have a bicycle lock, we strongly recommend bringing it to secure your rentals while not in use. Bicycle locks are available for purchase at all bike stand locations.
