Yosemite Trees, Plants and Flowers Near Our Cabins
Yosemite National Park is justly renowned for its tremendous geological formations, but it's also a bastion for botanical splendor. If you're enjoying a stay in one of our incomparable Yosemite cabins, take a moment or two to consider the immense wealth of wildflowers, shrubs, and trees that literally awaits just outside the door.
Whatever time of year you're appreciating our Scenic Wonders Yosemite cabins, you'll enjoy the evergreen majesty of the park's magnificent native conifers. The west-slope Sierra Nevada supports some of the world's most breathtaking forests, home to such titanic cone-bearing trees as sugar and Jeffrey pines, giant sequoias, incense-cedars, red firs, and mountain hemlocks. Some of these noble mountain veterans frame the views from our rentals' patios and living-room windows.
It's not uncommon for a Yosemite visitor to commence a visit ogling the epic sweeps of terrain and the misty careens of waterfalls--only to end up crouching over petite blooms of shooting stars or groundsels, or scrutinizing the numbers of needles per bundle in a wide-boughed pine. This is a kingdom of plants like few other corners of the globe--and one of our Scenic Wonders Yosemite cabins is the perfect spot from which to appreciate the wild gardens.
Yosemite Cabins Near Wildflowers
The first spring wildflowers are now emerging in Yosemite's lower elevations. Lupines, redbuds, fiddleheads, and others are popping out in the bottom reaches of the canyons, and before long azaleas, monkeyflowers, paintbrushes, and other striking herbs will be putting on a rich color show. The great thing about a mountain landscape such as Yosemite is you can savor wildflowers from late winter all the way to mid-autumn--just by tracking the staggered bloom from low-elevation gorges to timberline meadows.
