투올러미 카운티에서‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

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.

NIce trail right outside the western Yosemite gate and on the way to Hetch Hetchy. Nice walk along creak, then a steep incline, but rest of trail easy. Multiple gentle falls along big rocks you can sit on. Beautiful in fall with colored trees. Note that you must pay to park $10 and put a tag on windshield. Cars were ticketed.

More hills than expected. Poles suggested.

Impressive.

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.

This is what the Sierra Nevada are famous for. The falls roll over granite rocks and form small pools that are a haven for wildlife and humans alike. Be careful on the wet rocks though as they can be extremely slippery and granite is very unforgiving to those who fall on it.

There was a lot of controversy around the damming of the Tuolumne River and flooding the Hetch Hetchy valley over 100 years ago. The famous naturalist John Muir held it up as an equal to nearby Yosemite Valley, and though only a few grainy photos remain if definitely looks like he had a point. These days you can still be stunned by the vertical granite walls, dramatic waterfalls, and towering domes.
