Trail Notes

  • Reserve valley campgrounds months ahead on Recreation.gov — cancellations pop up a few days out
  • Enter the park before 9am to skip the worst entrance lines
  • Free dispersed camping in Stanislaus National Forest just outside the Highway 120 entrance
  • Tunnel View at sunset and Glacier Point at sunrise are worth planning the day around
  • Use the bear lockers at every stop — never leave food in the Jeep overnight
