Sightseeing
The "other" Yosemite. Wapama Falls are amazing and you can "see" the drinking water, some of the purest on earth (so we are told). An afternoon hike here surrounded by water is amazing and the hike to the falls is not difficult. You can go there and back in 3 hours with many stops. Guests have seen bears on the way to the falls.
