Granite walls a thousand metres high with waterfalls pouring straight off the top, giant sequoias older than most countries, and a valley floor so flat it feels designed for looking up.
The best time to visit Yosemite & the Sierra Nevada is Jun–Sep, when typical daytime highs reach about 38°C (100°F).
