Teachers, students, and visitors: learn about and plan educational field trips to Yosemite National Park. Our education pages are designed to help all students and teachers who are interested in Yosemite, especially those planning a field trip to the park. An interactive geology lesson and a virtual hike (one that can be duplicated in the park on foot) are included.
