Little Yosemite is pretty underwhelming, and there were hundreds of people all trying to take nature selfies. You can't swim in the stream either, which is sad. However, there are a decent number of less crowded trails in the area with some decent elevation gain. Spend the day exploring the terrain instead of staying in the valley and you will be rewarded with green panoramas of the east bay hills.
