Twilight Strolls


Wildflowers and sunsets in the park
Yosemite Valley
(Ahwahnee Hotel)
Yosemite, CA 95389
United States
+1 209 372 0200
http://www.yosemitepark.com
This daily event is free, and is a great activity for the entire family. The strolls are taken at an easy pace and cover less than a mile. Each stroll is guided by local experts, and topics vary according to the interpreter's area of expertise. Topics usually highlight the natural history and culture of Yosemite National Park. The stroll begins at twilight at the Ahwahnee Hotel patio. It is best to check the schedule of activities in the lobby for daily topics and time changes. Tours take place in Spring, Summer, and Fall.
