Take time to visit the Valley Visitor Center , where an orientation slide program and publications are available. Exhibits highlight the valley's natural and human history. Rangers are available to answer questions or assist you. The Indian Cultural Exhibit and the Indian Village, located behind the visitor center, display the cultural history of the native Miwok and Paiute people from 1850 to the present. Nearby, the Museum Gallery features artwork of past and current Yosemite artists.
Distances are short.
If you prefer, use the tree shuttle bus system that serves most of the valley. Either way, you'll save gas and frustration. It you are visiting just for the day, park your car in the day-use parking lot at Curry Village.
