Little Yosemite Valley

Little Yosemite Valley

Little Yosemite Valley is, as the name implies, a smaller valley near the Yosemite Valley. The Merced River flows through it, draining out over Nevada Falls and into the main Yosemite Valley. It can be reached by a day hike from the main valley, but is also a popular overnight camping area for backpackers, providing access to nearby destinations such as the back side of Half Dome, and Cloud's Rest.cite web|url=http://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/lyv.htm|title=Half Dome and Little Yosemite Valley|accessdate=2008-05-08 NPS]
