Rogue OYO is an app-based tool that lets us share everything we know to help you create your own Rogue-style getaway with minimal effort and show up ready to hit the ground running!
Yosemite National Park is famed for its glacier-sculpted valleys, numerous waterfalls, Giant Sequoia Trees, and the towering, iconic cliff faces of El Capitan and Half Dome. Yosemite carries a rich and vast history and is considered the mecca of rock climbing as well as a hub for backpackers, day hikers, trail runners, and nature photographers.
Although Yosemite Valley can be packed with people in its peak season, 95% of the park is designated wilderness covered by over 800 miles of trails that wind through giant old growth forests, high alpine meadows, glaciated granite peaks, deep canyons and valleys, plunging waterfalls, and thousands of alpine lakes.
In this guide, we’ve selected a variety of routes that each have something different to offer in all the major corners of the park and will give you the absolute greatest Yosemite has to offer!
