The Perfect Weekend in Yosemite National Park with Kids

Yosemite National Park is one of Amie and I's favorite places in the entire world. We were excited to finally take the twins to visit the park and to experience this special place. We spent a day driving to Oakhurst then two full days in the valley exploring Mirror Lake, Mariposa Grove, Yosemite Falls and more. Here is the full trip and hopefully it encourages you to travel with your young children as well.

Wow the twins are growing up so fast!! I love seeing the family unit enjoying (most of the time lol) the outdoors. This is how its supposed to be. God bless and thank you for sharing them with us.

Wonderful video! It’s been 29 years since I’ve been in the valley but I still donate to the Yosemite Conservancy because it is such a national treasure.

Oh the memories of herding our twins through nature 🤣. It's definitely a different trip with toddlers versus before, but you get to experience Yosemite through from a much different perspective. Tunnels, rock throwing, squirrels, and pinecones....sounds like the perfect trip!

Sweet! Kids will grow up seeing some amazing places.

The twins keep getting cuter and cuter. You are great parents for exposing them to so much of the world. Happy travels to you always!

You guys are so great wirh your kids and teaching them about creation. I was a kid in the early 60's when we tent camped in Yosemite and there was plenty of water. Mirror Lake was beautiful then and the kids at the campground used to call out "Elmer" who was supposed to be some bear. Never been back since. Everything was much simpler and more abundant back then.

Yosemite is amazing ...Walked down memory lane ...Half Dome is awesome ....The adventurous spirit of exploration of the little ones is lovely ...

You nailed the Pizza Factory / Judy’s Donuts combo! Local respect haha!

Pretty cool sunrise despite the smoke! Kids more excited about the squirrel rather than the deer LOL. There will be a time you give them Christmas or Birthday gifts and they will be more interested in the boxes, rather than the content. Great you two are making memories the twins will cherish in years to come. The twins are adorable BTW.

Great video!! Some of my favorite spots that I can’t wait to take my little to is Tenaya Lake, and about an hour outside of Yosemite proper is Groveland(?) That’s a trip on its own. Evergreen Lodge is awesome. Their sister resort there Rush Creek Lodge also looks nice. Haven’t stayed there but they have the best sandwiches I’ve ever had in my life, especially the trout sandwich, and a bus that goes into Yosemite. Just a couple of miles away is Hetch Hetchy reservoir with a nice trail to hike, probably for slightly older kids. Nice waterfall if you are early enough into summer or in late spring to catch it at its peak flow. 😊
