LOS ANGELES — I recently ventured to California's most-visited national park — Yosemite — for a whirlwind 48-hour tour. Turns out, there’s a lot you can do and see in the land of the Ahwahneechee over a couple days.
“If you want to meet people, come to Yosemite,” says Ken Yager, founder of Yosemite Facelift, Yosemite Valley’s largest clean-up event, happening now through Sunday. “Everyone comes to Yosemite. And for good reason.”
Here’s my suggested itinerary, if you decide to make a quick weekend trip to see Yosemite’s wonders. Note: If you’re visiting prior to Sept. 30, you’ll need park reservations during peak hours. But booking a spot in Yosemite Valley (I recommend Housekeeping Camp) allows you to enter the park automatically. Also, although Half Dome is certainly a bucket-list hike, I nixed it on this itinerary because of the challenge of getting a permit.
