More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You meet your guide at El Capitan Meadow as granite towers lean over the valley and a cool breeze threads the pines. The guide checks your group’s goals, then leads you up a chosen route where the trail alternates between dappled fir shade and open slabs that frame Yosemite’s cliffs. At a chosen clearing — beside a stream, under tall pines, or with valley vistas — your instructor rolls out yoga pads and a short, restorative practice follows the steady rhythm of the landscape.
