TOP STOPS
a Ride YARTS
In the summer months, the
Yosemite Area Regional
Transportation System
operates daily bus service
to Yosemite Valley.
b First citizens
View exhibits on the Miwok
Tribe's language, art, and
home-building traditions at
the Yosemite Museum.
c Foothill brews
After a hike, quench your
thirst with South Gate
Brewing Company's
cold-fermented lager or
pine-and-citrus IPA.
sculpted High Sierra struts its stuff.
Follow sinuous Highway 41 to Yosemite Valley, stopping at Tunnel
View to survey the cliff-framed scene photographed by Ansel Adams
and admire Bridalveil Falls' shimmering flow. Lace up your hiking
boots and ascend the Mist Trail's riverside stairsteps or trek to the top
of Yosemite Falls, North America's tallest free-leaping waterfall. Pull
out your binoculars and watch daredevil rock climbers on El Capitan,
or kick back on sandy beaches alongside the Merced River. If you
planned ahead, you'll have reservations for The Ahwahnee's grand
dining room and a luxurious overnight stay.
The next morning, slingshot back to Fresno, and this time veer
east on Highway 180, curving uphill from the valley floor to Kings
Canyon National Park. Admire a banquet of saw-toothed peaks from
Panoramic Point, then drive the Generals Highway past boulderstudded
conifer groves. You'll find even more awe in Sequoia
National Park, where emerald-green meadows, Moro Rock's bald
granite summit, and the earth's largest living trees await. Plan to
spend the night at Wuksachi Lodge so you'll have time to linger
among the venerable sequoias.
For your return trip, steer through dozens of hairpin turns on
a steep descent to the Kaweah River Canyon and charming Three
Rivers, followed by an easy highway cruise back to Fresno.
