Half Dome: The Majestic Granite Dome
Have you ever seen a mountain that looks like half a giant ball? That's Half Dome, one of Yosemite's most famous landmarks. It's a giant granite dome that was carved out by glaciers thousands of years ago. The perfect rounded shape of Half Dome is one of the most iconic sights in the world.

You can hike to the top of Half Dome if you're feeling adventurous. But be careful! It's a challenging hike, so make sure you're with a grown-up and have plenty of water and snacks.
El Capitan: The Sheer Rock Face
El Capitan is another iconic Yosemite landmark. It's a sheer rock face that rises over 3,000 feet above the valley floor. It's one of the most popular rock climbing destinations in the world, and you can often see climbers scaling its vertical walls.
El Capitan means "The Captain" in Spanish. It was named by early Spanish explorers who thought it looked like the commander of a ship. The Spanish name stuck, and even though Yosemite is in California, El Capitan still bears its original Spanish name.
Yosemite Falls: The Thunderous Waterfall
Yosemite Falls is the tallest waterfall in North America. It's a breathtaking sight to see the water cascading down the granite cliffs into the valley below.
There are two ways to experience Yosemite Falls. You can hike to the top of the falls, or you can take a bus to the base of the falls and look up. Both options are amazing, but hiking to the top of the falls is definitely worth it if you're up for the challenge.
Mariposa Grove: Home to the Giant Sequoias
The Mariposa Grove is home to some of the largest and oldest trees in the world. The giant sequoias here are over 2,000 years old and can grow to be over 300 feet tall.
It's an awe-inspiring experience to walk among these giant trees. You can feel the history in the air as you imagine what the world was like when these trees were just saplings.
Animal Adventures
Yosemite is not just home to beautiful scenery, it's also home to a variety of animals. You can spot black bears, deer, coyotes, and even bobcats if you're lucky.
One of the best ways to see wildlife in Yosemite is to go on a hike. You're more likely to see animals in the early morning or evening, when they're out looking for food.
