The Lower Yosemite Fall Trail is a must-visit in Yosemite National Park. Located near the Valley Visitor Center, visitors can take a leisurely walk around a 1.2 mile loop boasting stunning views of the entire Yosemite Falls. Keep an eye out for interesting exhibitions that explain the park's cultural and natural history. This easy-to-walk trail will reward visitors with spectacular sights—on sunny days, the cascade of water, especially at its peak during spring and early summer, makes for some memorable photo opportunities. Accessible from the free Valleywide Visitor Shuttle Service, this well-maintained path lets visitors bring strollers and leashed pets and provides them with ample opportunity to get up close and personal with Yosemite Falls.
