Sightseeing

We love to hike the self-guided nature trail, "Shadow of the Giants." It is a lovely, one-mile loop trail which is perfect for toddlers and exhausted parents :-)!

Few trails offer so much beauty for so little effort. Stunning views (of Yosemite's major landmarks) for a 2.2 mile walk with 500 plus feet of elevation gain. Our six-year-old twins love it!

Beautiful, short hike with gorgeous high-mountain vistas from a granite dome. We love Yosemite, but the trails off Sierra Sky Ranch Road let you escape from the summer crowds and heat!

Tremendous hike if you have a high-clearance vehicle and some extra time. Awesome views of the back side of the Minarets (in Mammoth Lakes). Some of the best high-mountain scenery in the Sierras!

Raley's is a fantastic Nob Hill Market. Great produce and deli counter! Buy some steaks and veggies to cook on the large, Weber grill on our wrap-around deck.

Not a great place for produce. But its fine to pick up milk or toothpaste, etc. without driving into Oakhurst.

Parks & Nature

If you only have time for ONE trip into Yosemite, skip the crowded Valley and head straight up Glacier Point Road. Sadly, for no hiking effort, Glacier Point has the BEST views in YNP!

We always hike the top portion of Lewis Creek (from Sugar Pine) to Corlieu Falls. It's 1.5 miles round trip and wonderfully shaded during hot summer days!
