🔑 Key Selling Points
El Capitan
This colossal granite wall dominates the valley. Climbers inching up its face look like tiny specks against the rock.
Half Dome
One of the most famous peaks in the world—its dramatic curve makes it instantly recognisable, whether you hike it or admire it from below.
Yosemite Falls
The tallest waterfall in the park roars to life in spring, filling the valley with mist and sound.
Glacier Point
From this lookout, the view sweeps across Yosemite Valley to Half Dome and the High Sierra. It’s a panorama clients never forget.
Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias
Walking among trees taller than 25-storey buildings is a humbling, almost spiritual experience.
