Stroll through the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias
The name says it all - you will be strolling through a grove of giant sequoia trees. This is the largest sequoia grove in Yosemite and one of the largest in the world, with over 500 mature sequoia trees. You’ll be left in awe at the splendor of these larger-than-life redwoods.

Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad
If Yosemite wasn’t magical enough as is, taking this vintage steam train ride through the woods will quickly change your mind. There are many varieties of train rides to choose from but each will have you equally as you ride through the California mountains on these open -air carriages that once carried logs.
If you’re a nature lover but just need a break from hiking the trails, this is an excellent way to explore the Sierra Mountains with the whole family.
