Subjects : The park covers over 3,000 km2 and this feature, combined with the extreme differences both in terms of elevation, topography that climate makes the environment visited and the most varied in the world. With regard to the environment ranging from the spectacular waterfalls of Yosemite Valley along the Merced River, to the boundless prairies Tuolomne Meadows, the impressive granite monoliths such as Half Dome and El Capitan, the giant redwood forests of ancient Mariposa to the hundreds of mirrors of crystal clear water as the Tenaya Lake and the Dog. For the same reason the wildlife is varied, abundant and also quite 'interim': the squirrel and the 'blue American woodpecker' (Steller's jays) are at the limit of human behavior (you are approaching from a distance of centimeters) but in general all species are very confident. Herds of deer, beavers, raccoons, a good number of reptiles, many birds (among which the peregrine falcon and with a little 'luck of the California condor) and a fair number of butterflies for some good macro. Mention separately for the two 'kings' of the park, the grizzly bear and mountain lion. Two meetings very rare due to the nature of those retiring, but unforgettable if you can spot them.

Recommended equipment : The 300 mm. is more than sufficient often seen that, given the approachability of subjects, are unable to mount safely even the stand and to make a composition reasoned. Bring a wide angle pushed, to be able to indulge with absolutely stunning views of the park offers virtually every 'turn the corner'. Possibly should bring a car tropical, given the infinite possibilities that offer unparalleled scenic waterfalls scattered everywhere.

Best months : All year round, with the added value of the sky more interesting in spring and waterfalls swollen with water immediately after the melting of snow. The winter months are not recommended because even if you can enjoy the unique spectacle of the frozen waterfalls, many mammals are hibernating, the climate is harsh and very short days does not allow you to program the long day trips (one-day hiking trail) that are the strong point of the park.

How to get there : The most convenient way is to fly to San Francisco and then rent a car to cover 250 km. about separating San Francisco from the inputs of the western park. The machine is preferable because, although there is an excellent bus service operating in the territory of the park, the distances between the areas visited are remarkable and be independent is definitely better.

Visits : The Admission is $ 20 per car and is valid for one week, you can come and go as you please. Inside the park there are many possibilities to spend the night and there is something for all budgets: from a 4-star superior to the cottages below the falls, the fantastic and comfortable campsites. Of note, the 'capillary' presence on the territory of the Rangers, always up and running for any type of event or need.

Notes : It is a magical place, where literally breathes love for wild nature to the fullest. Addition worthy of mention: for those interested in astrophotography there are many areas of the park completely free of light pollution, with a view crazy seeing the altitude. With a nice wide-angle light you can take home panorama of the Milky Way and large fields in general really top quality.
