Yosemite Hikes

There are over 800 miles of Yosemite hikes in the park, and there's something for everyone. In addition to the paved roadside attractions, there are short yet iconic hikes, medium-length adventures into the wilderness, and classic bucket-list day hikes. Yosemite was the favorite stomping ground for John Muir, the father of the modern-day outdoors movement. He would bring contemporaries like Emerson and Teddy Roosevelt here to get them to fall in love with the outdoors. It's easy to do, so please step out of your car, get off the paved walkways, and experience a hike. And don't forget to check out my Yosemite tips page before you arrive.
