Weekends in Yosemite, and it felt like stepping into every season of wonder at once 🌄

From the giant sequoias of Mariposa Grove to a snowy drive past Tenaya Lake, every corner of Yosemite Mariposa County felt like a new scene from a story we never wanted to end.
Here’s how we spent our weekend exploring this timeless national park ⤵️

🌅 Classic view of Yosemite from Tunnel View
💦 Reflections at Valley View and Cathedral Beach
🌄 Glacier Point sunrise and sweeping views of El Capitan
❄️ Snowfall on our way out through Tenaya Lake, the perfect farewell

📍 Yosemite National Park, California

Travelers are still welcome to visit Yosemite National Park, but please be especially responsible when visiting any national park right now. With fewer rangers and park staff due to the ongoing government shutdown, it’s more important than ever to practice Leave No Trace principles, pack out all trash, and respect wildlife and closed areas. 🌿

Here, mornings start slow, coffee in hand, crisp air all around, golden aspens swaying in the breeze. Afternoons are for exploring trails, browsing local shops, or just soaking in those peaceful fall vibes. 🍁✨

We based ourselves at , surrounded by glowing hillsides and cozy mountain charm, the perfect spot to unwind after a day of adventures. From here, everything in Truckee feels close, the river trail, downtown cafés, and hidden viewpoints that catch the last light of day. 🌙

There’s so much to see in this little mountain town:

✨ Donner Lake Overlook — one of the best spots for sunrise or sunset views over the lake.
✨ Pioneer Monument — a beautiful slice of history framed by golden pines.
✨ Legacy Trail — perfect for a peaceful riverside walk or bike ride.
✨ The swing above Donner Lake — a local favorite with the most breathtaking views.

It’s the kind of place that makes you fall in love with small-town mountain life — where every road feels like a story and every sunset feels like a reward.

So next time you plan a Lake Tahoe trip, save a day (or two) for Truckee.

Because sometimes the most unforgettable spots are the ones just 30 minutes away. 💛

Earlier this month, we flew into Fresno Airport, picked up our rental car, and set off on one of the dreamiest road trips… a week through golden forests, alpine lakes, and mountain passes that felt straight out of a movie.

We started our adventure in Yosemite Mariposa County, surrounded by granite cliffs and quiet meadows glowing with fall color. From there, we drove through the Sierra Nevada to Mammoth Lakes, where misty mornings, volcanic craters, and glassy reflections made every stop unforgettable.

Then came Lake Tahoe, with its turquoise water so clear it didn’t feel real. We spent our days kayaking, hiking to hidden lookouts, and chasing sunsets that turned the whole sky pink. Finally, we wrapped up our trip in the charming town of Truckee before flying back from Reno.

This trip reminded us why California is one of the best road-trip destinations in the U.S., from stunning landscapes to cozy small towns; every turn felt like a new story waiting to be told.

If you’ve been dreaming of a fall adventure, this is your sign to plan a Yosemite-to-Tahoe road trip.
Route: Fresno ➝ Yosemite ➝ Mammoth Lakes ➝ Lake Tahoe ➝ Truckee ➝ Reno
