Yosemite is full of rich history and many opportunities to try new things. You are surrounded by breathtaking views and opportunities to visit iconic landmarks such as Half Dome and El Capitan. On days off you can take advantage of the park by exploring the sites in the valley or take a drive to the high country and experience the beauty of the park without another person on site. You can also take the opportunity to adventure to one of the many groves of giant Sequoia trees across the park. In the summer employees can take advantage of rafting, hiking, rock climbing and more. In the winter we offer ice skating, skiing, snow tubing, and cross-country skiing. There is something for everyone! Additionally, we organize a variety of employee activities, including movie nights, day trips, BBQs, sporting events, group hikes, and more!
