Next week we are spending two nights in Midpines before heading to the valley for two nights. The first day we are rafting the Merced. The second day (Thursday) I had initially thought we could go hike Hetch Hetchy and go to Wapama Falls (our friends that we're going with have never seen Hetch Hetchy), but then since I just booked our lodging at Midpines, it seems a bit out of the way to drive to Hetch Hetchy and then back down to the valley. We essentially will go down to the valley and then back up 120.
Any thoughts for interesting activities/hikes around the area we are staying at? or that side of the park?
I thought of Chiluna falls, which I've never seen, but my husband wasn't thrilled at the idea of a strenuous hike.
