We ditched the RV and went tent camping in Yosemite National Park — and ended up seeing a BEAR along the way! This video is packed with incredible hikes, family adventures, and unforgettable Yosemite views.
Here’s what we explore in this Yosemite adventure:
🍳 Morning at camp & Half Dome recap
🌄 Tunnel View Overlook — Yosemite’s most iconic view
🥾 Taft Point & Sentinel Dome Hike
🏞️ Glacier Point Overlook and short hike
🌲 Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias (including the Grizzly Giant)
🐻 Bear sighting on the drive from Glacier Point to Mariposa Grove!
🔥 Campfire life — cooking fails, tips, and campsite fun
🏔️ Tuolumne Meadows Visitor Center
🥾 John Muir Trail to the Bridges
🥾 Parsons Lodge & Soda Springs
🥾 Pothole Dome Hike
💦 Swimming at Tenaya Lake (with some funny audio bloopers!)
🚗 Why “Speeding Kills Bears” in Yosemite
🍽️ Camp dinner & family recap
This trip reminded us how important it is to slow down, make memories, and enjoy family time in the great outdoors. Yosemite camping gave us so many unforgettable moments — from breathtaking overlooks to close encounters with wildlife.
