22 days in Yosemite National Park Itinerary

Massive granite mountains, towering waterfalls, groves of Giant Sequoia trees, and wilderness as far as the eye can see distinguish the landscape of Yosemite National Park.

Venture out of the city with trips to Groveland (Groveland Yosemite Gateway Museum & Rainbow Pool), Stanislaus National Forest (in Hathaway Pines) and Ironstone Vineyards (in Murphys). On the 13th (Wed), hike the day away at Panorama Trail. Spend the 21st (Thu) exploring nature at Elizabeth Lake. The adventure continues: take in the dramatic natural features at Glacier Point, trek along Mariposa Grove, don't miss a visit to Half Dome, and take a memorable drive along Tioga Pass.
