Yosemite in the Fall

Yosemite is a beautiful destination to visit during the fall even though most of the trees are evergreen. It is still a site to see and though it can get chilly between 31 and 59 degrees Fahrenheit this does not stop people from coming to Yosemite for Thanksgiving; in fact it is usually booked around that time. It’s a lovely time to visit and take some nice hikes. It’s definitely a place to go if you want to be cozy at night and enjoy the nice crisp days. Some things to do in the day are taking a walk to Bridaveil Fall and enjoy the amazing smell as you walk past oaks and Ponderosa pines. Depending on the weather you may or may not see much of the waterfalls but this is still a nice walk to take. This is also a time to do some Ice skating which many visitors have been doing since 1928 and is open seven days a week. There are many other trails to go out and explore.


If you don’t want to stop there and are looking for more of a hike make sure to visit California highest point Mount Whitney. Mount Whitney’s elevation is 14,505 feet (4,421 m). The west slope of Mount Whitney is part of the Sequoia National park. The summit is on the south end on the John Muir Trail, which connects with Happy Isles in Yosemite Valley.


So... What is your favorite experience in the Sierras?
