Yosemite Valley, Historic valley in Mariposa County, United States.
The valley spans 7 miles in length and 1 mile in width, enclosed by granite cliffs reaching heights of 3,000 feet above the valley floor.
Native American tribes of the Ahwahnee people lived in this valley for over 4,000 years before European settlers arrived in the nineteenth century.
The valley holds eight designated camping areas where visitors participate in ranger programs about local wildlife, geology, and Native American traditions.
The free shuttle bus system connects all major points within the valley, including visitor centers, parking lots, and accommodations throughout the year.
The Merced River flows through the valley floor, creating a network of waterways that sustain diverse ecosystems and provide natural irrigation.
