Astuces voyage HI – Midpines, Yosemite Rustic Mountain Resort

Yosemite Bug Café for any meal. Sack lunch is a bargain and delicious ($7-8 for sandwich, fruit, trail mix and cookie). A sandwich alone will cost $7-8 in Yosemite and quality is lower! |

enjoyed live music on Friday night at the Yosemite Bug Café. Lots of games to play or sit around a campfire at the hostel |

Sentinel Dome. The cables had come off Half dome the day we went for our permit, so we settled on this. It was amazing. You have 360 degree views of the park with a much smaller crowd than other places. Also, drive out to the eastern edge of the park on Tioga road, the views are otherworldly, and completely worth the almost 2 hr drive. There are plenty of places along the way to get out and stretch your legs with great views. |

the grocery store in Yosemite is a good way to cobble together a decent meal. Hummus, a half a roasted chicken and some raw carrots did the job quite nicely after a long day out. Maybe even prepare to have a camp stove with you and cook in the parking lot. It is quite a distance from the park to the hostel and was too much of a time/gas waste to return just to fix a meal. Also be wary of the prepared food in the park, it is overpriced and often terrible. If you plan plan on leaving early and returning early eat at the cafe. It is EXCELLENT. The ice cream/sorbet is some of the best I have EVER eaten. :) |

Pigeon Point Lighthouse is another HI Hostel and one of my favorite places ever. It's on the coast and has a hot tub you can rent for 7$ (for a 1/2 hour, which is all you really need) with the most amazing sunset over the pacific. The guy who runs it is awesome, and it's within driving distance to a lot of other cool towns. There's a million beaches you can hang out at and it's pretty close to Big Basin State Park. Don't forget if you stay here...GET UP FOR SUNRISE. TRULY. AWESOME! |

Columbia State Park, it's about an hour away from Mariposa, but it's fun to visit an old Gold Rush ghost town. |

Try the on-site spa! We bought an hour in a private room with two claw-footed soaking tubs with a salt bath, plus all-day access to the large hottub, cold shower, and dry sauna for only $30 total! Great after a day's bike riding in Yosemite Valley. They also have massages and yoga classes. |
