The Yosemite National Park has the most number of guests in the months of June, July and August, while the months from December to February bring in the least number. Even if the Yosemite National Park is open to guests 24 hours everyday the whole year round, there are places that are best visited in certain parts of the year.

For the Summer Season (June to September), the park is filled with tourists All the park areas can be accessed by car in the later part of the season, although most of its waterfalls either have low flows or are totally dry.

The Fall Season (October and November) draws in a few guests. While all the areas are open throughout the season, you can expect occasional closures in some parts due to snow.

The Winter Season (December to March) is not such a good time to visit Yosemite as some roads are closed. Those that are open or are accessible by vehicles require guests to bring along tire chains.

Spring Season (April and May) is the ultimate time to see the waterfalls. While the Tioga and the Glacier Point Roads may remain inaccessible until the late Spring, it is still a good time to visit the park as water flow abundantly even in small waterfalls and creeks.

The time of your visit will dictate the sights you have to see in your two-day tour. But for those who haven't planned out their travel, here are a few good ideas: Yosemite Falls are a must because the two falls (the upper and lower), are actually the country's highest. It stands 2425 feet; El Capitan is a granite wall with a height of 4000 feet; Glacier Point, situated 3215 above the base of the valley, provides one of the best views of the Yosemite Valley, Yosemite Falls, the Vernal and Nevada Falls, plus that of the Half Dome; Half Dome which stands 8,840 feet is made up of a certain granite and is believed to have been torn in half during the Ice Age.

Two days will seem like an hour once you get there. All the sights will require you to be there for more than just a few minutes. Anyway, you're always welcome for another visit.
