49 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.

Take a break from the city and head to Sentinel Dome and Glacier Point. Explore Yosemite National Park's surroundings by going to Bridgeport (Travertine Hot Spring & Bodie State Historic Park), El Portal Market (in El Portal) and June Lake (Parker Lake Trail, June Mountain, & more). Spend the 15th (Tue) wandering through the wild on a nature and wildlife tour. On the 24th (Sun), spend an exhilarating day on the slopes at Dodge Ridge. The adventure continues: admire the sheer force of Bridalveil Fall, identify plant and animal life at Nature Center at Happy Isles, contemplate the waterfront views at Mirror Lake/Meadow Trail, and take in the dramatic natural features at El Capitan.
