Yosemite National Park is one of the great wonders of America, which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own cabin rental, taking solace in the sound of the wind over the mountain tops. Take this opportunity to explore California's natural wonders and reboot in ultimate peace and quiet.
Cultured Yosemite Valley
A great place to pause before trekking further into the park is Yosemite Valley Visitor Center. Pick up a map, plan your route, and spend time in their educational theater and book shop for a brief history lesson.
For a change of pace head to the Ansel Adams Gallery. Admire famous black and white photographs of the landscape over the years, and challenge yourself recreations of these striking images with your own camera.
Go extreme in Yosemite
Push yourself to your limits with an exhilarating rafting adventure down one of the rivers that snake through Yosemite. Zephyr Whitewater Rafting is a safe bet for trusted river guides and runs tours that last anywhere between half a day to several days. You'll be worn out and ready to relax in your Yosemite cabin after an intense day on the water.
Keep the adventures going back on dry land by hiking to the summit of Half Dome peak; you'll snag one of the best viewpoints around. Take time to admire the park's natural skyscrapers, also known as Sierra Redwood trees. Spot the most ancient and towering in Mariposa Grove, by Wawona.
Winter's gifts
Yosemite can stun even in winter, and this is proven by the incredible "Firefall" phenomenon. Each February, the setting sun is at a point where it hits Horsetail Fall (water permitting) to make it light up like fire or shimmering gold; a rare sight you won't forget.
Strap on a pair of snowshoes and join the Yosemite Conservancy's periodic outings throughout the winter to explore the park from a fresh perspective. Diverse terrain will be covered before making your way to the top of Dewey Point for rewarding panoramas.
