Drive the 13-mile loop through Yosemite Valley, the crown jewel of the American national park system. Granite monoliths rising 3,000 feet from the valley floor, waterfalls plunging from hanging valleys, and meadows where the Ahwahneechee people lived for thousands of years before a battalion of soldiers changed everything.
