I am not going to call this a hike as it is a short nature loop that takes you to the powerful and beautiful lower Yosemite Falls.
The museum in Yosemite Village hosts a rotation of exhibits with a focus on art work and artifacts related to the history of Yosemite.
A beautiful and much less busy area of Yosemite that is at about 10,000 feet! On the way there we stopped at the lake and there was still snow on the ground
This one will take you a while to get there. But again if you are looking for less crowds and a more relaxing part of the park Hetch Hetchy may be your place.
To get to the top of the falls is a strenuous uphill 8 mile hike. Or else you can just do a short half mile hike to get close to the lower part of the falls.
This is a difficult hike with a 2000 foot elevation gain over 3 miles and the whole trail was 6 miles long. But it was so worth it.
