Top Base Jumping in USA

If you're interested in photography, the golden hour around sunset is a game-changer for capturing the park's beauty. Don't rush out of there too early!

Check out the lesser-known spots like Mariposa Grove instead of just the popular ones like El Capitan. They’re just as beautiful but way less crowded!

I think it’s a good idea to wear hiking shoes even if you're just planning to wander. I learned the hard way when my flip-flops didn't cut it on the trails.

I suggest exploring the trails nearby for a cool view of the canyon. It’s free and you get some fantastic photo ops without having to deal with crowds.

if you're planning to watch the base jumpers, head over around 11 am when they usually start showing up. the vibes are super chill, and you can snag a good spot for pics.

The best views are during dusk; I recommend getting there around 6 PM. You won't want to miss that sunset over the gorge!

I suggest booking your jump in advance. It fills up quickly, especially on weekends, and you definitely don't want to miss out!

Check the weather a day in advance. Wind can be a total dealbreaker, and it’s disappointing if you’ve planned your whole trip around jumping

Bring snacks and water. There’s not much around the jumping area, and you'll want to stay energized between jumps.

I think it's a good idea to arrive at least an hour before your jump time. This way, you can properly prepare, chill out, and take in the stunning scenery without rushing.

I recommend booking your jump session in advance, especially during peak season, to avoid long wait times... The academy can get super busy, and the last-minute rush isn’t fun!
