Yosemite should be on every person’s bucket list to visit, whether it is to camp, hike, sightsee, bike, or to swim at the river. All hiking trails have incredible views and are worth the challenge. Half Dome is amazing, but if you are looking for something easier/shorter(still with some challenge), I recommend just going up the Mist trail to Vernal and Nevada Falls. Glacier’s Point is a must— I always enjoy a tough hike on the Four Mile trail, but the viewpoint is also reachable by transportation during open season.

I've been in North Pines, Hodgdon and Upper Pines... the best was Upper. The spot 202 was super leveled which is a guaranteed sleep! North Pines and Hodgdon were really good too. But the space with the rest of the people, it bigger on Upper. Saludos desde Argentina!

Great location. However, every night and morning it is covered in smoke from hundreds of campsite fires. Clear air should be prioritized. RV generators also ruins the wilderness experience at times. Restrooms are dated and not always clean.
