Yosemite National Park, California | Tuolumne Trek
The 28-mile Tuolumne Trek offers nonstop iconic Yosemite views of Half Dome, Bridalveil, El Capitan and more. It showcases why Yosemite has earned a reputation as the Disneyland of National Parks, but unlike the lower valley view, it provides a glimpse of the pristine Yosemite that enamored John Muir with its High Sierra magic away from crowds.
I happen to hike a lot with three people who have hiked, literally, all of the trails in Yosemite... and I don't think any of them are aware of this gem. But, I will ask tonight!
This hike is about 28 miles, but I don't remember seeing Half Dome, Bridalveil, or El Cap. More? Well, there was "Jorges" Mountain of course...
Future conversion from the permit office:
Ranger: "What hike would you like a permit for?"
Visitor: "I want to do the Tuolumne Trek!"
Ranger: "The... what?"
Visitor: "The one with the views of Half Dome, Bridalveil, and El Cap"
Ranger: "Hmmm... You mean the Old Big Oak Flat Road or the Pohono Trail or... Rockslides?"
Visitor: "Those don't sound right... Nevermind. I'd like to see the geysers instead."
