Part 4/10:
From Lake Tahoe, take a scenic 4-5 hour drive eastward to Yosemite National Park. The dramatic granite cliffs, waterfalls, and ancient sequoia trees create a stunning backdrop for outdoor exploration. Most of the park's famous sites, such as Half Dome, El Capitan, and Yosemite Falls, are located in the valley, where various hiking trails provide access to these natural wonders. Don’t forget a visit to Glacier Point for sweeping views and Tuolumne Meadows for a serene atmosphere.
