Two Days of Fall Fun in Yosemite

Kick off your Yosemite visit with a bike ride through the Valley's 12 miles of scenic paths. Rent a bike from Yosemite Valley Lodge or Curry Village and enjoy the freedom to explore iconic landmarks and breathtaking vistas at your own pace. After your ride, refuel at Degnan's Kitchen with fresh sandwiches, and local root beer on tap. In the afternoon, embark on a half-day guided hike tailored to your preferences, or tackle a self-guided trail like Sentinel Dome or the Mist Trail for unparalleled views. (see chart below) As the day winds down, treat yourself to an elegant dinner at The Ahwahnee Dining Room, where towering windows and stunning chandeliers set the stage for a memorable meal. End your day with the Yosemite After Dark tour, an easy stroll through the woods where you'll learn about the park's fascinating nocturnal wildlife.

Start your day with a hearty breakfast at Degnan's Kitchen or Basecamp Eatery. Choose from hot breakfast sandwiches, French toast, and Starbucks coffee to fuel your morning. Then, head to the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias to walk among some of the world's oldest and largest living trees. Explore the Grizzly Giant Loop Trail to see iconic trees like the California Tunnel Tree, or opt for the wheelchair-accessible Big Trees Loop Trail. Before heading back, visit the Pioneer History Center for a glimpse into Yosemite's past, complete with horse-drawn wagons and historic buildings. Wrap up your adventure with a sunset at Glacier Point, soaking in panoramic views of Yosemite Valley and the Sierra Nevada mountains. Enjoy a hot chocolate and a treat from the gift shop before returning to the Valley. End the day with dinner at Basecamp Eatery and toast to your Yosemite getaway with cocktails and dessert at the Mountain Room Lounge.
