Yosemite National Park Autumn Scenery

In autumn, Yosemite naturally casts its magic with golden, amber, and crimson hues, bringing endless joy. During fall (October to November), cottonwoods, black oaks, and maples change their colors, dressing the valley in warm earth tones, with Mirror Lake reflecting the beautiful scenery. Remember to bring your camera and wait for the moment when the morning sunlight sweeps over El Capitan. At Glacier Point, you can overlook the valley, Half Dome, and other sights, experiencing the rich layers of autumn colors from the valley’s gold to the highlands’ deep reds. Mariposa Grove is an excellent spot for autumn viewing, home to over 500 mature giant sequoias, the largest sequoia grove in Yosemite National Park. Beneath these thousand-year-old giant redwoods, feel the sacredness of nature and experience the tranquility and solemnity of the “Cathedral of Nature.” Come to Yosemite, connect with nature, and enjoy the autumn scenery!
