Yosemite National Park Maps By Region and Trail Maps
In addition to our interactive map above, find detailed PDF maps of specific regions and trails for your outdoor adventure. Yosemite National Park encompasses 1,169 square miles of gorgeous and rugged terrain, so it’s crucial to know not only the best way to get here, but how to successfully find your way around once you’re in the park. Because GPS can be spotty within the confines of the park, we strongly recommend travelers obtain physical maps in addition to virtual ones.
