20의 투올러미 카운티에서가지 명소 & 주요 장소

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.

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.

The Glen Aulin Trail begins at Tuolumne Meadows and follows the Tuolumne River, winding through stunning landscapes filled with waterfalls, towering granite cliffs, lush meadows, and vibrant forests. The trail starts with an easy to moderate stroll alongside the river. A short half-mile walk from the parking area offers informational kiosks highlighting the area's ecology, wildlife, history, and geology. After about four miles, the trail becomes steeper as you descend cobblestone steps leading to the backpacker’s camp. Here, you'll be treated to breathtaking waterfalls before reaching the meadows of Glen Aulin.

The Tuolumne Grove of Giant Sequoias is located near the Crane Flat intersection. Though it is smaller than Mariposa Grove to the South, it is easier to access for those using the north entrance and the trees are still impressive. The trail is paved and easy walking, but keep in mind that it goes downhill first so the hardest part is at the end of the walk.

Like the more famous Yosemite Falls, Wapama Falls drops from the highlands in three distinct sections. Unlike Yosemite Falls you are likely to only encounter a handful of other hikers on your way to the base of the falls. There is usually water cascading down the granite year round but the most impressive time to visit is during the spring runoff. Just beware that at peak flow crossing the footbridge can be extremely dangerous.
