welcome to part 4 of the West Coast Road Trip series! we just left San Francisco and arrived in Yosemite National Park for 2 days, staying outside the park in Mariposa, California let me just say, Yosemite is JAW-DROPPING 🌲 easily the most beautiful and peaceful place I have ever been in my whole life and I could have stayed here for so much longer than 2 days you can see everything we got up to in Yosemite, including visiting all the highlights like Curry Village, El Capitan, Cooks Meadow, the Ahwahnee Hotel and more! we stayed outside Yosemite in Mariposa as we were on a road trip and doing a more budget trip to Yosemite and it was about a 45 minute drive to the national park from here let me know if you have any questions as always in the comments and we were of course on the lookout for bears the whole time too! make sure to subscribe and stick around for part 5 of our West Coast road trip series when we arrive in Las Vegas for a night!
