Yosemite's dramatic landscape has long inspired emotional or spiritual responses in people and the best romantic things to do in Yosemite are numerous and diverse. The scale and timelessness of the natural world here can swallow up one's own life - sharing this place with a special someone gives you an anchor for taking it all in, and provides an enduring touchstone for a relationship.
Yosemite weddings number in the hundreds each year and honeymoons in the thousands. The park's beauty has played a role in the love lives of millions of people over the years; plan to be touched here.
Dining at the grand Ahwahnee is a key part of Yosemite romance, as is a hand-in-hand stroll on a meadow trail or to the base of Yosemite Falls. Watch the sunset from the solitary top of Sentinel or North Domes, or get up early for springtime birdsong and sunrise over the Valley's ramparts. Lay on your back (with a warm blanket!) in Tuolumne Meadows to watch the summer stars glide over the glaciated peaks the way they have for millions of years.
Even solo romantics find rich material for the heart or soul here. Yosemite's wild beauty inspired John Muir's powerful philosophy of environmental stewardship. Ansel Adams and other artists were called to this holy ground and have lifted many of us with their expressive works. A mountain lake makes a fine location for meditating on one's sense of place on earth.
