Camping in Yosemite!

We have scoped out some incredible hikes, trees to worship, and awe inspiring views to take in. If you want to hang around on Monday to see more of Yosemite. We figured a good thing for everyone to do may be to go to MARIPOSA GROVE OF GIANT SEQUOIAS in Southern Yosemite - largest sequoia grove in Yosemite and is home to over 500 mature giant sequoias. Is at southern tip of park. Reference 1.5 hour drive from Evergreen Lodge - 50 miles https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/mg.htm Must park at Mariposa Grove Welcome Plaza and take shuttle or can hike 2 miles (both ways to the grove) Hikes in the grove – Mariposa Grove Trail – see it all 7 miles (“strenuous”) Shorter hike of 2 miles, and one of 6.5, the quickie .3

Yes! Duh. Here's an easy hike that is very close to the Evergreen Lodge. Northern Yosemite - Tuolumne Grove – on Old Big Oak Flat Road. Reference: .5 hour from Evergreen Lodge 16 miles. Hike is 2.7 miles out and back https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/tuolumne-grove

YES! There are 3 groves in Yosemite to see massive, ancient giant sequoias. 1. Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias- most popular, ionic, trafficked, busy, and spectacular. 2. Tuolumne Grove (mentioned above) and 3. Merced Grove also very close to the Evergreen Lodge.
