What can I do on a 2 days trip to Yosemite?

Question

I want to go to Yosemite for a couple of days, and can't decide what to see.

Answer 1

You can actually see most of the park's main sites in just two days. I went back in April and had an amazing time.

Here's the Trip Plan I put together for it; you should be able to get a bunch of recommendations from it:

I went in the spring, when all the waterfalls were gushing. You might put less emphasis on the waterfall hikes if you're going this time of year.



Hope that's useful! Have a great time!

What I would do is park your car in the Backpacking/hiking Parking Lot (Bear Proof your Car). Then hike up to Nevada Falls, stop and play in the Merced River up near the falls!! Then hike about another 2 miles and camp for the night!!!! Get up in the morning and go the rest of the way to Half Dome. On the back side of Half Dome are cables that you can actually climb up to the top of Half Dome. It is a 16 mile hike round trip, but I hear its one of the neatest things to do!!! Huell Howser did that on one of his shows and it looked like a great trip!!!!



The other thing you could do is hike up to Myrtle Falls, hang out on the rocks by the water. You could stay at the Yosemite Cabin Tent hotel and take the horse/Mule trip up into the Back Country to see what they call the Wagon Wheels. There is alot to do in Yosemite. If I were you, I would either take a camper or RV, or pitch a tent and camp somewhere in the park.



Have a great trip and Have Fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 5

It depends on when you're going. The Tioga and Glacier Point roads will likely be closing in a few weeks, which will wall off a big chunk of Yosemite from you. Yosemite Valley is open year round, though, and is full of great stuff -- the tunnel view, El Capitan and Half Dome, the Mist Trail, Bridalveil and Yosemite falls (though waterfalls won't be at their peak at this time of year). It's less crowded after Labor Day, too.



The Mariposa Grove of giant sequoias, in southern Yosemite, should also be open. (It's open year round, although during the peak of winter you'll need snowshoes.) If you go before Tioga & Glacier roads close, you won't regret visiting Glacier Point or the highlights of the Tioga Road area, like Tuolumne Meadows and Tenaya Lake.
