Yosemite in Spring
Early May, the dogwood bracts are emerging, their glowing white shapes gently floating on bare trees. The Merced River, swollen with snow melt, courses through the valley, often overflowing its banks to create ephemeral 'lakes' with incredible reflections. Bleeding hearts bloom, and other small wildflowers are bursting forth, beneath the timeless beauty of the iconic rocks of the valley. During a full moon, the base of Yosemite Falls offers moonbows in the mist. Join us for a wonder-filled experience at a magical time of year. Scroll page for additional information. FULL as of 3/7/12.
