It was great to make their experience more memorable and include them in the video; your family was a lot of fun and the kiddos were awesome! Glad we all had the opportunity to experience the Grizzly Giant together. -Best
The entire park is superb. The coast redwoods actually grow much bigger than even Grizzly Giant, and the coast is just 2 hours from us. So we opt for the closer parks with less rails and less crowds. Here's a favorite coast giant: ruclips.net/video/5Q4v8VbNyOg/видео.html
Well, you cant hike or visit the Mariposa grove this year & probably next. There was a forest fire & it will be a long time before it is re opened to the public. !
Awesome video, we’ll be visiting Yosemite the 3rd week of March 2022, your videography is fabulous, I’ve been practicing skipping along youthfully 😅 If you don’t mind the question, your outfits are very cool, can you possibly share the brand names of your clothing? Thanks for sharing, I’m off to your next video. 🏃♂️
Hey Daniel, I am planning to go to Yosemite last week of March 2022 :) Would you by any chance know if we will experience heavy snowing? Will there be the need to drive with a 4x4 or use tire chains? Would love to hear your thoughts cos I have zero experience driving in snow...
@@lorrainelai Well it was snowing last week in the Yosemite Valley, and while I’ve never visited Yosemite in the snow, I do know carrying chains is required in the Big Bear area from November 1 to April 30, whether they’re needed or not. So I’ll be carrying chains, even though I drive a 4 wheel drive vehicle, because I’m assuming I’ll be required to do so. Two wheel drive vehicles are fine, if you have your chains and you take your time you’ll have no issues. When you enter the park, park rangers will give you information regarding chain use or requirements if necessary, it isn’t a big issue unless you aren’t carry chains. Have a good time, it’s one of the most beautiful places you’ll ever visit in your lifetime.
Third week of March is coming up quick! I was actually almost considering going during that time as well. Have any hikes in mind? And I will def post the brand names soon in the description, appreciate you enjoying the vids; that's nice of you to say
Thanks for all of this info. It's a bummer that the shuttle isn't running yet. I've got family coming that aren't as spry as they used to be but have been dreaming of seeing the sequioas for decades. Your footage is reassuring that the trail looks doable for them (with breaks). From what you've seen, do you think it be reasonable to go up Washburn Trail and down Mariposa Grove Rd?
Hi there! Definitely saw all sorts of folks with various skill levels hike the trail. The two mile hike has a 500’ elevation gain and there is one section that has a steady climb, but with breaks it’s definitely doable. On the way back, walking down the road will definitely be easier. If you are looking to hike to the Grizzly Giant and California Tunnel Tree, it is an additional 500’ elevation gain; though doesn’t feel like it since you are constantly distracted by the beauty around you. Happy trails!
Thank you for adding the kids in your footage!! They are super excited

Wow beautiful National park, and thanks for the info keep Safe
This video is beautiful thank you so much
Is'nt there a shuttlebus from the welcome center to the start of the grove trails?
If so what time does the park close?

@@lorrainelai Oh, check weather reports a week before you visit, I’ve been checking weekly and will continue to do so up until our visit 👌
Thanks for the tips Daniel

So its over 2 miles to hike to the Grizzly Giant?
Hello. Is this hike stroller friendly?
Thank you.
Hi you can walk down the Mariposa Grove Road instead of hiking on the trail making it accessible with a stroller
