FAQs
Is it possible to do a day trip to Yosemite from San Francisco?
Yes, you can get to Yosemite National Park and back in a single day, but it’s a four-hour drive and will leave you without a lot of time to spend in the park. You’ll be able to see the highlights around Yosemite Valley, such as Half Dome, El Capitan, and Yosemite Falls, but you won’t have as much time to visit other regions of the park or to see the Giant Sequoias at Tuolumne or Mariposa Groves.
How many days should I spend in Yosemite National Park?
Spending at least one night in Yosemite National Park will give you enough time to visit Yosemite Valley, as well as one or more additional regions of the park. Plan on 3-4 days if you want to do multiple hikes or simply explore the park at a more relaxed pace.
Can I take a train from San Francisco to Yosemite?
No, you can’t take the train from San Francisco all the way to Yosemite, but you can take an Amtrak train to Merced and a YARTS bus to Yosemite Valley from there.
Is a guided tour of Yosemite worth it?
A guided tour is a great way to see Yosemite National Park. You’ll spend less money on gas and parking, and a knowledgeable guide will take you to the top attractions and the best photo spots in Yosemite. Most importantly, you’ll be well-rested when you arrive so you can have a more enjoyable experience in the park.
What is the best place to stay in Yosemite National Park?
The best place to stay in Yosemite National Park is at the Yosemite Valley Lodge. It’s right in the heart of Yosemite Valley with views of Yosemite Falls, and only a 4-minute walk from our drop-off point. That said, it is one of the more expensive places to stay and it can be hard to find a room during busy seasons. Check out our Overnighter’s Guide to Yosemite National Park for more accommodation options.
Where is the cheapest place to stay in Yosemite National Park?
Yosemite campgrounds are the cheapest place to stay in Yosemite National Park, but reservations are required during spring and summer and can be hard to get. Staying in a tent cabin at Curry Village is another budget-friendly option and is only a 15-minute shuttle ride from our drop-off point. Bug Lodge is one of the cheapest options, but is outside the park and a 1-hour and 20-minute bus ride from our drop-off point.
Do you need reservations for Yosemite National Park?
You need a reservation to drive into Yosemite National Park during peak times of year, such as Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day weekend. If you have a booking at a Yosemite Park campground or lodge, you don’t need a separate entry reservation, but you’ll still have to pay the $35 entry fee per vehicle.
