Hugely Romantic: A stroll through Mariposa Grove is peaceful, beautiful, and big on romantic moments! As in, meandering among 500 giant sequoias, with highlights like Grizzly Giant and Tunnel Tree. It's an idyllic spot to ask, Will You Mariposa Me?

Love is in the Air: Ready to make "Whoopee!"? You'll be squealing with delight at Yosemite Ziplines and Adventure Ranch (a 2013 TripAdvisor winner). Their fantastic Valentine's Weekend Special will have you flying high on a thrilling zipline tour over the forest with mountain views.
