Hiking Outdoor Excursions In Yosemite!
I am going to share with you what I know about hiking outdoor excursions in Yosemite National Park. From easy day hikes to the more advanced hiking.Yosemite is home to some of the best California hiking trails around. Yosemite hiking trails are well marked, clean and make it a great experience for all who come to do some Yosemite hiking.
FOUR EASY HIKES ON THE VALLEY FLOOR PLUS THE HIGH COUNTRY HIKES
 Mirror Lake. Once your in Yosemite, take the free shuttle to the Mirror Lake Junction. Once you are off of the shuttle, you can take a nice walk on a paved road (no vehicles are allowed on this road) up to Mirror Lake. The walk is a casual walk that follows the Merced River and is mostly shaded. It is a one mile walk with a mild increase as you walk. This lake has some sandy beaches around parts of it. It also as some cascading rocks that are fun to explore. Deer are often found coming to the lake to drink.
 Vernal Falls Bridge. This is definately the most hiked trail in all of Yosemite! Vernal Falls cannot be seen from the valley floor. You can drive up to Glacier Point and see it or walk to the bridge and see it. Take the free shuttle to Happy Isles. 7/10ths of a mile walk on a sandy trail will get you to the bridge. The view of the waterfall is breath taking and worth the effort. Children of all ages can easily make it to the bridge. The trail is a moderate uphill climb and the trail is mostly shaded. Many people go to the bridge without going all the way to the top. This really is a hiking outdoor excursion that is worth the effort of doing. The view will not disappoint you!
 Lower Yosemite Falls. Take the free shuttle to the Lower Yosemite Falls Parking lot. Or if you are staying at the Lodge, it is easy to follow the signs and walk there. A casual 1/4 mile of a walk on a sandy trail. Easy for the whole family. You will end up at a bridge that you can see Lower Yosemite Falls crashing into a deep pool surrounded by rocks and boulders. A perfect place to take pictures!
Sentinel Dome is an easy 2.2 mile hike that will give you a 360 degree view of Yosemite Valley and the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. It is here where you will see the fallen Jeffrey Pine tree that was made famous by Ansel Adams.
