투올러미 카운티에서 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Here the long distance Pacific Crest Trail, on its way between Mexico and Canada, crosses Tioga Road, with popular and convenient break options to hitchhike and explore the more developed portions of Yosemite National Park, and resupply on food and gear.

Just north of the parking and trailhead is a hut that serves for attendants in summer, and as rest shelter in winter.

Tuolumne Grove Trail offers a scenic yet challenging run, descending 500 feet to a grove of giant sequoias. The highlight is the Tunnel Tree, a fallen sequoia you can run through. Expect a steady uphill climb on the way back. Trail conditions vary—watch for snow or ice in winter. No water stations, so bring your own.

Wapama Falls offers a quieter alternative to the more famous Yosemite Falls, with stunning views of its three distinct sections. The trail is less crowded, giving you a peaceful experience as you approach the base of the falls. While water flows year-round, the spring runoff provides the most spectacular sights—just be cautious, as crossing the footbridge during peak flow can be hazardous.

Tuolumne Meadows is one of the crown jewels of Yosemite National Park. The picturesque meadows are surrounded by the iconic granite domes that Yosemite is known for. The most notable being Lembert Dome that looms over the eastern edge of the meadows.

This is a great place to park for a ride on Tioga Road. The hike down to the Sequoia Grove is short but somewhat steep on the way back up. You should definitely check it out before or after your ride if you have the time. Crane Flat gas station is just around the corner and well stocked for drinks and snacks. Pro tip: The Yosemite branded trail mix is excellent, though not especially healthy.

This is where the Mist Trail starts steeply uphill, eventually reaching the top of Vernal and Nevada Falls. Even if you go only partway, the views are spectacular. However, watch out for one unusual obstacle: Granite steps that are slippery when wet.

At this point on the John Muir Trail, a break in the trees reveals a stunning view of the back side of Half Dome, showcasing its more rounded profile.
