Mountain biking
At the Swinging Bridge and Swinging Bridge Picnic Area, visitors can enjoy fantastic views of Yosemite Falls reflected in the Merced River, best seen by day or by full moon at night. Despite the name, the bridge no longer swings, as it was replaced after flood damage in 1964. The picnic area offers tables, grills, and scenic surroundings. The area is open from dawn to dusk and features accessible amenities, including picnic tables, vault toilets, and parking. Visitors should keep food secure due to bears and other wildlife and be cautious around swift waters.
