First time at Yosemite - advice on our 1.5 day itinerary
Hey all! My girlfriend and I are planning our first trip to Yosemite in early June, staying at in Airbnb in Oakhurst. Could use a sanity check and tips on our itinerary
FRIDAY
> Arrive at Oakhurst Airbnb around 3pm
> Drive to Glacier Pt / Hike Sentinel dome to catch the sunset
> Drive back to Oakhurst
SATURDAY
> Leave Oakhurst early around 6am to arrive at Curry Village parking before 8am
> Hike Mist trail / Vernal Falls / Nevada Falls / JMT loop
> Hang out around the valley floor until late afternoon. Rent bikes, lunch picnic, lower Yosemite falls
> On the way out, catch the sunset at Tunnel Point
> Drive back to Oakhurst
How does itinerary feel? Anything we could add to our Saturday.
We’re both physically fit, but don’t hike often so trying to be mindful of not trying to fit too much.
