PRACTICAL WANDERLUST

Yosemite is one of the oldest National Parks in the country, and in our biased opinion as Yosemite’s Bay Area-based neighbors, it’s also the best and the most beautiful!

GO HIKING IN YOSEMITE VALLEY

If you’ve never visited Yosemite before, you’ll likely visit the Yosemite Valley first, where you’ll find famous sites like Half Dome, El Capitan, and Yosemite Falls towering high overhead.

TAKE A SCENIC DRIVE

Spending a day just driving around Yosemite National Park is the best way to see as much of the massive park as possible.

SEE THE GIANT SEQUOIAS

Some of the oldest trees in the park are over  3,000 years old and big enough to drive a car through! See the redwoods at Mariposa Grove, Tuolomne Grove, and Merced Grove.

EXPLORE HETCH HETCHY, YOSEMITE’S MOUNTAIN FJORD

Exploring the Hetch Hetchy area of Yosemite feels like visting a Norwegian fjord.

HIKE HALF DOME

Half Dome is not only a hike, but a life-changing experience.

TAKE A CLASS WITH THE YOSEMITE NATURE CONSERVANCY

Wish you could capture this view in a painting or mosaic? Take an art class in Yosemite Valley! There’s nothing like being surrounded by ALL THIS *gestures wildly* to inspire creativity.

SEE THE SUNSET AT GLACIER POINT

Glacier Point sits 3,214 feet above Yosemite Valley with an unbelievable view. It's also an amazing stargazing spot!
