Overview: Few visitors to Yosemite National Park take the time to visit Wawona in the Southwest section of the park, but those who do quickly realize all it has to offer. You can walk around the Yosemite Meadow while watching the wildlife, hike up to the top of Chilnualna Falls with views over the entire Wawona Valley, explore the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias and walk among trees almost 2,000 years old, or take a short stroll to an old swinging bridge and relax in the cool pools below.

Whatever your pick, Wawona offers it all, and this bundle will show you the best hikes that this wonderful and under-discovered area has to offer.
