  • This is a beautiful church in an idyllic setting. The inside is only accessible during services, but it is a worthwhile stop on your circuit through Yosemite Valley.

  • Few places on earth rival the majestic creation of Yosemite. This chapel is ideal for a medium size event but it will require travel planning and tight parking for your group. The park is a must see for people making their bucket list - have met numerous visitors from Asia, Europe, and South America over the years - ran into a couple visiting all the way from Israel this weekend!
  • A quaint little chapel that really pops in pictures when there is snow on the ground. Great place to view Bridal Falls which is across the way from the chapel.
