Yosemite National Park reports

The Sierra foothills are celebrating the spring equinox with a beautiful wildflower bloom! Yosemite is a wildflower enthusiast’s paradise, where blossoms are found most of the year. The park’s 11,000-foot range in elevation—from 2,000 feet on the west to 13,000 on the east—provides a phenomenal variety of growing conditions.
