The Stanislaus National Forest is a pretty place to recreate, boasting 898000 acres and many opportunities for camping, hiking, and exploring. We stayed in a national forest campground along the middle fork of the Tuolumne River not far from the Hetch Hetchy entrance station to Yosemite National Park, and about a 45 minute drive to Yosemite Valley.
The adventure continues along U.S. 395 with a trip to June Lake, Hilltop Hot Springs, and Lee Vining.
Continuing on their roadtrip adventure through the Southwest, the Cranky Camper shares a new hike in the Flagstaff area along with two popular places to eat.
With fruit trees, pie, stunning canyons, and natural bridges, Capitol Reef National Park is an adventurer's paradise. While it was quieter than Arches or even Canyonlands, this national park was probably my favorite.
Arches National Park in Moab, Utah is home to thousands of arches and natural rock formations, including the famed Delicate Arch.
