Where to Go and What to Do in Yosemite National Park

The Yosemite Guide contains information about trip planning, activities, scheduled events, and hours of operations for different facilities and services. This publication replaces the Yosemite Today.

The Guide is published several times per year. Each issue will be posted a few days prior to its effective date. Approximate file size for each PDF file is 5 MB.

You can also find information, beyond that contained in the Yosemite Guide, about special programs, such as the Parsons Memorial Lodge Summer Series and Poetry Festival.

Did You Know?
Yosemite Falls is fed mostly by snowmelt. Peak flow usually happens in late May, but by August, Yosemite Falls is often dry. It begins flowing again a few months later, after winter snows arrive.
