If you'd like to plan the ultimate family hiking trip, look no further than Yosemite National Park in the Sierra Nevada in California. Its wonderous 1,200 square miles feature captivating waterfalls, glaciers, and alpine meadows. Take in the beautiful views of nature on a hike or while horseback riding, biking, fishing, birdwatching, or boating.
Families can book reservations to stay at campgrounds, including those with RVs, or opt to enjoy lodging at nearby hotels and cabins, such as The Ahwahnee, Curry Village, and Wawona Hotel.
"I highly recommend this location to families with active toddlers and older. You can choose from flat hikes to more intense hikes up ridges and down peaks. This is excellent for all families because everyone can choose what adventure they want to go on. Not only that, there's plenty of rivers, lakes, and even a pool to relax in after a warm summer's hike," says Jeremy Scott Foster, founder and CEO of TravelFreak.
