We went to Yosemite in mid March when Glacier Point Road and Tioga Road were still closed for the…read moresnow season. Tuolumne Grove is located right before the closed section of Tiago Road. The trail was wide which was great for social distancing. The entire path was covered in snow so it was more workout for our 2.5 mile in-and-out trek with 400 feet elevation change. Our experience was rather secluded compared to the crowd factor in the Valley. It was great to admire the enormous size of the trees by ourselves, it made the experience more special and enjoyable.

There are restrooms located at the entrance. The paved trail takes you about 1 mile downhill to the Grove entrance. The trail turns into dirt but is is a very easy hike. The Grove circle is less than 1 mile in length. There are several giant sequoias to view but my favorite was the sequoia with the large tunnel cut out. Short hike and not too many trees to view but it was a fun stop.

We spent the better part of our afternoon leisurely strolling along whilst admiring the craftsmanship and history embedded in each structure. Even though it was not possible to go inside any of the cabins or structures, there was still plenty to view and appreciate. You can expect to see the following: Wawona covered bridge, various large metal equipment items used in this time period, covered carriage house, horse barns, horse corrals, Chris Jorgensen Studio, George Anderson Cabin, Tom Hodgdon Cabin, Yosemite transportation Company office (Wells Fargo), Bridget Degnan's Bakery, Acting Superintendent's Office, Powder House (Jail), Blacksmith Shop, Cavalry Office and Ranger patrol cabin.

Corlieu Falls, Sierra National Forest: 2025 Feb 17 (4 of 5)…read more Named after Charles Clifford Corlieu, an early pioneer of the region, the falls here are a prominent feature along Lewis Creek Trail. The walk took 3.8 miles. Though the hike is relatively short, the steep incline towards the ridge is not for the faint-hearted. Why 4 and not 5? There was graffiti along the rails which was a distraction for visitors. These are writing on a public surface without permission, and is considered vandalism and an eyesore.

(We were not so lucky the next time trying to find a spot for Mirror Lake Trailhead.) I think people have a better chance here to find parking because it is such a short hike and people come, see, leave. So give it a shot! The hike is short and sweet. We were already feeling the mist from the falls as we drew closer to the viewpoint. Then it just became breathtaking. As my son put it "Who knew water just falling off a ledge could be so beautiful?" We were here to experience the height of the water flow. Rainbows were abundant. It is a magical experience.

Upon arriving we one of 2 total customers in the office. The first couple was being waited on so we (family of 4 adults) waited and browsed the information available.

She provided good information when probed but offered no smile, no welcome and more attitude than I would have expected. In all, we got our info but I'd recommend the park visitors center if you can and skip this place.
