Tours
Take a self-guided auto tour with The Yosemite Road Guide or the Yosemite Valley Tour cassette tape, each available for purchase at the online Yosemite Store, or at the Yosemite Valley Visitor Center.

For a relaxing and informative experience, take a sightseeing tour on an open-air tram (weather permitting) or bus. These tours, narrated by informed guides, operate daily to most points of interest in the park including Yosemite Valley (year-round), Tuolumne Meadows (summer), Glacier Point, Wawona, and the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias (spring through fall). Two-hour moonlight tours show Yosemite in a different light during summer months. During winter, tours are conducted on heated and enclosed motor coaches, with stops at the most popular scenic locations in Yosemite Valley. There is a fee for all sightseeing tours. For reservations and more information, call 209-372-1240. or stop by any hotel tour desk.

Recreation
Skiing and Snowshoeing
During the winter, Yosemite offers downhill skiing at Badger Pass, in addition to cross-country skiing and snowshoeing at Badger Pass, Crane Flat and the Mariposa Grove. These areas all have marked winter trails. Badger Pass offers approximately ten miles of groomed track at no charge. Purchase ski trail maps and topographic maps from the online Yosemite Store or at park visitor centers. For downhill and cross-country ski school information and conditions, call 209-372-1000. For Ostrander Ski Hut reservations call 209-372-0740, Monday through Friday 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time.

Ice Skating
Ice skate outdoors at the Curry Village Ice Skating Rink from early November through March, conditions permitting. Rental skates are available. For more information, call 209-372-8341.

Bicycling
More than eight miles of bikeway wind through the eastern end of Yosemite Valley. Rent bikes at Yosemite Lodge (all seasons) and Curry Village (summer months), conditions permitting. Helmets are recommended for all riders, and are available at no charge with rental bikes. California law mandates bicyclists under 18 years of age wear a helmet.

For your safety and to protect Yosemite National Park, please follow these rules: bikes are allowed only on paved bikeways and park roads (unless the road is closed to bicycle use). All bikes are prohibited from pedestrian and hiking trails. Bicyclists must obey all posted traffic signs and travel with the flow of traffic when on roadways used by automobiles. Rental bikes may not be ridden to either Mirror Lake/Meadow or Lower Yosemite Fall.

Horseback Riding
From spring through autumn, two-hour, half-day and full-day rides depart daily from stables in Yosemite Valley, Wawona, and in summer, from Tuolumne Meadows. Call 209-372-8348 for information.

Hiking
For ideas on where to hike, see the Wilderness Information section. Remember to know your limits, be prepared for changing weather conditions, and carry plenty of drinking water and a flashlight. Trails are not regularly patrolled or maintained.

Backpacking
For information on backpacking and wilderness permits, see the Wilderness Information section. For guided trips in the backcountry, consider a naturalist-led trip with the Yosemite Association Field Seminar Program (209-379-2321), or an adventure with the Yosemite Mountaineering School and Guide Service (209-372-8344).

Rock Climbing Classes
The Yosemite Mountaineering School and Guide Service offers beginner through advanced classes in Yosemite Valley during the spring and fall, and in Tuolumne Meadows each summer. Call 209-372-8435 for information. Several federal laws and regulations pertain to rock climbers in our national parks. These laws protect the park area, its wildlife, and natural beauty.
