If you haven’t left Brooklyn in a while and your dad and your brother ask you to meet them in Yosemite. It’s the most most refreshing breath of air.
The hike to Vernal Falls is best, I believe, at the end of the summer. The water isn;t too rapid, too shallow, or too cold to prevent swimming. It’s just right.
Dinner at the Ahwahnee (now The Majestic) is always dinner at Hogwarts, and never to be missed.
