Hidden Gems Near Yosemite: Waterfalls, Swimming Holes & California's Oldest Saloon | Groveland, CA

You’ve probably heard of Yosemite National Park — but what about the tiny town just outside it that serves up waterfalls, swimming holes, and the oldest saloon in California? In this episode, we explore the charming and historic town of Groveland, CA, just 30 minutes from Yosemite’s Big Oak Flat entrance. We kick things off with a jump (literally) into Rainbow Pools, chase a quieter adventure at Diana Falls, and step back in time at the Iron Door Saloon, where dollar bills fly through the air and land on your head if you're not careful. We also show you around Yosemite Pines RV Resort, grab a killer cup of coffee at Mountain Sage, and wrap up our day cooking under the stars. Whether you’re planning a trip to Yosemite or just love discovering underrated small towns, this one’s packed with outdoor goodness and offbeat charm. 00:00 Intro 01:03 Driving to Groveland, CA from Modesto 🚐 03:22 Yosemite Pines RV Resort ⛺️ 04:37 Rainbow Pools 🌈 07:51 Iron Door Saloon 🍺 08:55 Mountain Sage Coffee ☕️🌺 10:35 Diana Falls 💦 14:43 Cooking at the RV 🌮 👇 Links + Resources RV LIFE App (our go-to for RV-safe routes): https://shorturl.at/4dzlk – Get 25% off RV Life Pro!
