128: Yosemite Trip Report

Exploring the National Parks

Yosemite National Park never fails to surprise! This summer, we came for waterfalls and ended up with falling trees, surprise bear encounters, and a lot of laughs along the way. From Yosemite Valley to the High Sierra, every turn revealed the beauty of Yosemite and the persistence of life thriving in every corner of the park.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The highs and lows of our 2025 trip to Yosemite National Park!

  • Timing your visit and the best time to explore Yosemite

  • Iconic sights like Half Dome, Bridalveil Fall, and El Capitan

  • Six lessons we learned from unexpected events, including weather and wildlife encounters
