Curry Village (Formerly Half Dome Village)

Highlight • Rest Area

Curry Village, originally established as Camp Curry in 1899, sits at the base of Glacier Point with stunning views of the valley. Founded by David and Jennie Curry, it offers affordable, family-friendly accommodations ranging from hotel rooms and wood cabins to canvas tent cabins. With dining options and activities on-site, Curry Village is quite popular and advance reservations are highly recommended.

View of Yosemite Falls

Highlight • Viewpoint

It is a 2,400-foot (739-meter) waterfall, the highest in North America and the fifth highest in the solar system. It is ten times higher than Niagara or Shoshone Falls, almost twice as high as the Empire State Building, and about as tall as a 200-story building if anyone ever built one.

Best time to visit: In the spring, when the water roars off the falls and the breeze it creates on the bridge under the falls will blow your hat off your head.

Worst time to visit: In early fall and late summer, when the falls are often completely dry at that time.

Curry Village

Highlight • Rest Area

Curry Village, located in Yosemite Valley, is a popular spot for food and lodging, offering a range of options to suit different preferences and budgets. For lodging, it provides a mix of accommodations, including canvas tent cabins, wooden cabins, and a limited number of hotel-style rooms. The tent cabins, available in both heated and unheated options, are a rustic yet iconic way to experience the park, while the hard-sided cabins provide more comfort. Each accommodation style offers easy access to the stunning views and nearby trails. When it comes to food, Curry Village has several dining options to keep visitors well-fed after a day of exploring. The Pizza Deck is a favorite, serving freshly made pizzas with outdoor seating that allows you to take in the incredible surroundings. The Coffee Corner is perfect for a morning pick-me-up or a quick snack. Meadow Grill offers burgers, fries, and other casual fare in a laid-back setting, while the Curry Village Dining Pavilion provides buffet-style meals in a family-friendly environment. Seasonal food trucks also appear on occasion, adding variety to the dining scene.

The field near Curry Village, officially known as Stoneman Meadow, offers stunning views of some of Yosemite Valley’s most iconic landmarks. From this open area, you can take in breathtaking vistas of Half Dome, its sheer granite face rising dramatically against the sky, especially striking at sunrise or sunset. To the west, you’ll see the towering cliffs of Glacier Point and Sentinel Rock, while the lush greenery of the meadow provides a peaceful contrast to the rugged surroundings. In the spring and early summer, wildflowers often dot the meadow, adding vibrant colors to the scene.
