Local Legends & Stories

Yosemite Valley has been home to the Ahwahneechee people for thousands of years, who called it 'Ahwahnee,' meaning ' gaping mouth.' The valley's name comes from the Mohawk word 'yos-emit,' meaning 'grizzly bear,' and the area's dramatic landscapes have inspired legends of nature spirits and ancient giants.

Perfect Timing

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

Use a polarizing filter to enhance the colors of the sky and reduce glare on water surfaces at waterfalls
Shoot during golden hour—shortly after sunrise or before sunset—for the most dramatic lighting on El Capitan and Half Dome
Bring a sturdy tripod for long-exposure shots of the iconic Merced River and smooth waterfall effects

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions
