The van slides out of San Jose before dawn and the coastal sprawl dissolves into oak-studded foothills. By mid-morning the first granite faces unfurl—the valley opening like a curtain—and Tunnel View delivers Half Dome and El Capitan in a single breath.

The falls announce themselves before you see them; Lower Yosemite Falls sprays fine mist that dares you closer, and the trail beneath your boots hums with runoff and pine needles.
