Accessible Yosemite

Accessible Day Hikes in Yosemite Valley 

​​​​​​​Bridalveil Falls (easy)

0.5 miles round-trip; 20 minutes wheelchair accessiable

A paved trail leads from the parking area to the base of this waterfall, which flows year-round.  Expect lots of spray in spring and early summer

Cook's Meadow Loop (easy)

1 mile; 30 minutes (wheelchair accessible)

This short, easy walk offers stunning views of Half Dome, Glacier Point, and Royal Arches.

Mirror Lake/Measow (easy)

2 miles; 1 hoour (wheelchair accessible)

From the shuttle stop, a paved trail leads directly to Mirror Lake.  At the stone bridge, you can turn right to take the five-mile loop or remain on the paved trail to continue to Mirror Lake.  Mirror Lake has little water mucy of the year, but in spring and early summer it can grow in size.  When water is calm, the lake offers beautiful reflections of surrounding cliffs.  This can be a good place to spot wildlife.

Lower Yosemite Falls (easy)

1 mile; 39 minutes (wheelchair accessible)

This short, easy walk rewards with spectacular views of Upper and Lower Yosemite Fall.  This waterfall is often dry from late July or August through October.  However, expect spray in spring and early summer
