A Splendid Adventure at Yosemite National Park - Wish we had our Airstream!

Hey there, fellow adventurers! We’re back with yet another travel tale from our recent escapades. This time, our journey led us to the spectacular Yosemite National Park, and oh boy, was it an adventure to remember!

This trip was a bit different, though.

We left our trusty Airstream at home and took to the skies.

Nestled just outside the park's south entrance, we found our cozy accommodation at the Tenaya Lodge. A perfect blend of luxury and wilderness, it became our home away from home. The kids had an absolute blast exploring the surroundings, truly embracing the spirit of the great outdoors.

As much as we loved the convenience of air travel, we found ourselves missing our beloved Airstream. Imagine waking up to the breathtaking views of Yosemite right outside your window, right?

Now, to the nitty-gritty of our adventure. The traffic and parking situation was a bit challenging, to say the least. However, we understand that these are common scenarios when visiting popular destinations during the peak season. And did it dampen our spirits? Not one bit!

We had a fantastic full day of hiking amidst Yosemite's strikingly beautiful landscapes. Words like 'stunning' seem to fall short when describing the majestic granite cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and crystal-clear streams we encountered.

The park's bus system proved to be a helpful albeit sporadic companion on our adventures, helping us navigate the long stretches between the picturesque sites.

But the absolute highlight of our trip? The awe-inspiring sight of the giant redwoods in the grove. The experience felt nothing short of a spiritual event. Standing there, dwarfed by their towering presence, we felt a profound connection with nature and our place in this vast world. It's an encounter we'll cherish for a lifetime.

Our Yosemite adventure served as a beautiful reminder of why we love traveling and especially, why we began Trailer Trashin’ in the first place. It's all about these shared family experiences, the thrill of exploration, and the allure of the world's natural beauty. We'd have loved to have our Airstream along for the ride, but that gives us yet another reason to revisit!

If Yosemite National Park is on your bucket list, don't wait up. Just pack your patience along with your hiking boots for the traffic and parking!
