Whitewater River Rafting
Just minutes from the southern entrance into Yosemite, the Merced River offers some of the finest rafting in the West. Join Zephyr Whitewater or O.A.R.S. for thrilling half day or full day river trips. River courses are available for rafters of all levels.
Boating
Rent boats or jet skis at Bass Lake. Spend a day fishing, water skiing, or just lazing with a good book. Bass Lake Boat Rentals has a full service shop with a mechanic on duty 7 days a week, boat launch facilities, overnight rental slips, seasonal slips, boat drivers, and lessons. Miller's Landing has overnight rental slips, seasonal slips, boat drivers and lessons.
Rock Climbing
From big walls which can take up to a week to ascend, to spectacular back-country precipices, Yosemite is a world-class rock climbing destination. Visitors interested in seeing climbers in action can park at El Capitan Meadow in Yosemite Valley and gaze up at the largest single mass of granite in the world, El Capitan.
For those who prefer to "do" rather than watch, the southern Yosemite region has its own rock climbing sites. The AMGA accredited Southern Yosemite Mountain Guides offer half or full day climbing trips for all levels of experience. Classes are offered all year round at various locations.
