YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK: ADVENTURING WITH KIDS

Spot climbers on El Cap, hike to rushing Yosemite Falls, float in the refreshing Merced River, visit Tuolumne’s alpine meadows, take an afternoon bicycle ride around the Valley--Yosemite has much to offer visitors, including its youngest ones. With an emphasis on outdoor education and fun, authors Harley and Abby McAllister write with parental practicality: kids aren’t going to be excited about views, and even spouses get cranky when they’re cold or hungry.
