Lindsay and the girls visited Yosemite for a girls’ trip.

Background
Yosemite Valley is the easy sell — granite walls, waterfalls at their loudest in late spring, and the whole thing packed within a half mile of every parking lot. A couple miles of trail buys back the quiet.
If you go
Yosemite Valley is the easy sell — the waterfalls peak in late spring with the snowmelt, which is exactly when this trip landed. Peak season often runs a reservation or shuttle system, so check before you drive up, and remember the crowds cluster within a half mile of any parking lot. A couple miles of trail buys you a lot of quiet.
