14 Yosemite Hikes for Unbeatable Views

"Distance: 1.6 miles Best for: Beginner hikers looking for a scenic, leisurely amble. Located along seasonal Tioga Road, usually open June through October, Tuolumne Meadows is the jumping off point for exploring Yosemite’s gorgeous high country. For a breezy stroll, follow the flat John Muir trail through green meadows until it reaches a pair of bridges crossing the crystal clear waters of the Lyell Fork of the Tuolumne River. At the second bridge, broad sun-baked granite slabs provide an ideal spot for a picnic or simply basking in the scenery." - Garrick Ramirez
