NORTHERN CALIFORNIA - PART 5 : FOUR FAMILY FRIENDLY HIKES IN YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK.

...And so we left civilization, driving through fields and fields of nomansland, the backcountry of California. Never take the road we’ve taken because what we did was dangerous. We drove for hours without seeing one house, no internet service, no gasstations. We just drove and drove and hoped we were driving towards Yosemite. 

It was pitch dark when we arrived at Yosemite Pines, an RV park outside of Yosemite and recommended by Brian and Elein from EliteRVvacations. By now Nic knew with his eyes closed how to park the Airstream and not before long we were all peacefully snoozing. We all needed that rest to face the hikes we had planned the following days.

Bright and early the next morning we drove about 1 hour until we arrived at a good hiking spot. Yosemite is so big, you'd better know where you're going! 

Every single hike we did was perfectly do-able with our kids who are 6, 10 and 11 and the diversity of the experiences was mind-blowing. Each time we reached a top we felt like heaven literally opened in front of us. Each of the hikes we did was kid friendly. The road to the top had so much variety and natural beauty that there was barely any whining.
