Start your day at Yosemite National Park, one of the most visited natural wonders in the United States. Explore the park's stunning granite cliffs, waterfalls, and giant sequoias. Don't forget to take a hike to the Half Dome or El Capitan to witness one of the world's highest peaks!
Take a scenic drive to Lake Tahoe, a crystal-clear freshwater lake located in the heart of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Enjoy a picnic by the beach, go paddleboarding, or take a hike to one of the nearby trails to witness the lake's stunning views.
End your day at Muir Woods National Monument, located in the stunning coastal redwood forest. Wander through the forest's peaceful paths, and marvel at some of the world's tallest trees, some of which can grow up to 380 feet tall!
If you have more time, add Mono Lake to your itinerary, located at 2 hours and 30 minutes from Lake Tahoe. For a shorter trip, you may skip Lake Tahoe and spend more time at Yosemite and Muir Woods instead. Don't forget to pack comfortable hiking shoes and snacks for your trip!
