One Day Itinerary | Yosemite National Park
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лип 2024
- A look at what I recommend to do with one day in Yosemite National Park, USA. Please note this trip is during the 3rd week of August. Less mosquitos than in the spring but also less water in the falls and very very hot. From what I've heard early July is the best (weather wise and waterfall wise) but also the most crowded time to go. If you don't plan on doing extensive hiking into the high country May could be a lovely time to visit. It's the worst time for mosquitos but supposedly that's mostly in the high country when on long hikes. The Valley itself may not be so bad, but please do a little extra research on that ;) May would be when the waterfalls would be at their most full and powerful as well so it would be stunning and the Valley would be really lush.
Begin by driving in and stopping at Tunnel View. Park in the valley and hike Bridalveil Falls and Yosemite Falls then head back to your car and drive to the Yosemite Valley Lodge. You can park for free in their parking lot and rent bikes onsite. Then bike around the The Cook's Meadow Loop Trail, Mirror Lake, Yosemite Loop Trail. Then return the bikes and drive to Glacier Point. If you have at least 3 hours of daylight and energy left, drive to Mariposa Grove (which is on your way back out of the park). You have to do a 45min (easy, a few hills but nothing major) hike through the forest from the parking lot to the Mariposa Trees and you'll spend about an hour among the trees. So again you need to have at least these 3 hours left of daylight!

Going this coming week for the first time, and I can't wait to get there.
Great video! Brought back some great memories. Even I forgot how beautiful it was. To bad you didn’t catch the bear that ran across our path on camera.
Oh I know! That would have been awesome
Thank you for the information
Welcome!! I hope it was helpful :)
Great video, hope to visit here one day! Subscribed 👍
Hey thanks so much!! I hope you can! It's an incredible place :)
Wow, awesome video of Yosemite. Thanks for sharing this with us! Ill be subscribing, I want to support fellow national park visitors.
Thanks so much!! And awesome yesss, agreed on supporting national parks, they are so amazing :)
How long does it take to do the bike ride ok so I’m not a big hiker (all the small hikes I’m down for )can we do all what you said in 2 day?..,I’m into the bike thing for sure,just need a time on it and also I’m staying in Mariposa,so I will hit up that grove,and then is Washburn point and glacier point in mariposa ? or is that back in Yosemite..thank you for your time..you rock
Where did you rent the bikes from? Suggestion, if you could put the month of this trip in the description it would be helpful. I didn’t hear that mentioned until 3/4 through the video and since it posted in January was like this doesn’t look like it’s filmed in winter lol
Ah yes good call I'll add the bike location and the month in the description thanks! And like I think you did end up hearing it was the third week of August and we rented the bikes from Yosemite Valley Lodge. On the other side of the Valley you can also rent them from Curry Village Bike rental. I believe those are the only two places to get them in the Valley!
Really nice production and footage. But flicks around a bit too much in my opinion. We are just going to Mariposa Grove, seconds later, in a car some place else completely. Hope you don’t mind me saying. All the best,
No problem at all, thanks so much for watching :) And I know I have a fast style of editing, what can I say, people have short attention spans these days ha!

FYI Sentinel bridge, not Centennial bridge. Easy mistake. :) Heaven on earth.
Ah thank you!! Ha how embarrassing!
