Summer is hands-down the most popular season for people to take some time away from their desks and explore the outdoors. Even without a whole lot of days, you can still enjoy the beauties of the Yosemite Valley if you know what to look for.

There are many campground available for reservations in Yosemite but if you're looking for a more quiet experience, check out the Wawona Campground, located just above Fish Camp on highway 41. It's a little further away from the popular attractions but you'll find less people to distract you.

If you're the type to enjoy being in the middle of all the action, try reserving a camping spot somewhere near the Valley like North Pines. Essentially, any campground near Curry Village is ideal if you're looking to be close to a lot of convenient amenities. There's a free shuttle system linking the cafe, restaurant, grocery store and showers together which makes is absolutely convenient for visitors looking to save time.

There are plenty of activities you can pursue alone or as a group including bike rentals, scenic walks, hiking trails, waterfalls and various water activities. Staying in the Valley makes a perfect weekend getaway and balancing relaxation and adventure is easy.

10 Lakes Basin in Yosemite

Beginning at the Ten Lakes trailhead, the trail to the lakes is a moderately strenuous uphill grind to Ten Lakes pass, followed by a quick downhill into the lake basin. We met a woman at the top who made sure we didn’t miss the short side trail to a vista point on the pass that offered a sweeping panorama of the basin and the Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne just to the north. The official Ten Lak...

Grant Lake via Ten Lakes Trailhead

The trail begins at the Ten Lakes trailhead (7600 ft) right beside Yosemite Creek. The first 4 miles start you on the ascent through the wooded forest, however there are portions of the trail that will take you through granite rock valleys marked with only cairns so keep your eyes peeled throughout the trek. After reaching the Half-moon Meadow the lake is now within grasps, 2 miles after the im...

Mt. Hoffman via May Lake Trailhead

The May Lake trailhead is at the end of a 2-mile unpaved road leading north from Tioga Road. The trailhead has pit toilets and bear lockers. (Please be sure to store any food, garbage, scented items, and empty coolers in these lockers while hiking!) After hiking an easy 1.3 miles, you'll arrive at May Lake, nestled at the base of Mt. Hoffman and the site of a seasonal High Sierra Camp. There's...

May Lake Trail

May Lake is a stunning, serene subalpine lake that rests at the base of Mt. Hoffmann. The May Lake turnoff is located four miles past Tenaya Lake. From the turnoff, it's 1.8 miles to the trailhead parking lot. During summer time, I will recommend getting to the parking area early to get a spot since this is a very popular hike. May Lake is one of the five High Sierra Wilderness Camps in Yose...

Hike Mt. Hoffmann via the East Chute

This is a solid, day long trip. It is a great hike with a bit of a scramble on the way up to the summit massif and then again at the nearly 11,000-foot peak of Mount Hoffmann. You will have what John Muir described as his favorite view of Yosemite. You can look down onto Half Dome and across the Landscape to Mount Lyell. To get here you need to drive on Tioga Pass road, which is closed in winte...

Backpack to North Dome in Yosemite

To stay overnight in Yosemite without a reserved campsite requires a "Wilderness Permit" to camp, but you can camp anywhere. However, any fires need to be in pre-made fire pits (so rangers can know where to check for fires) Day 1 - Hike in from the Porcupine Trailhead off of Tioga Road in to views of half dome (possible day hike if thats all you have time for). Find a place to camp for the nig...
