Hidden Yosemite: Hetch Hetchy, Giant Sequoias & Mountain Horseback Riding Adventure!
Explore the serene beauty of Tuolumne County, a lesser-known gem adjacent to Yosemite National Park, in our latest adventure video! Join us as we saddle up for an unforgettable horseback riding experience in the Sierra Nevada foothills, where the breathtaking vistas offer the perfect escape from crowded tourist hotspots.
Our journey begins at Firefall Ranch, where we embark on a scenic trail ride through vibrant autumn foliage on well-trained horses. The slow pace allows us to soak in the stunning landscapes that surround us, making it a perfect outing for nature lovers.
Next, we dive into the ancient world of the giant sequoias at Tuolumne Grove. Here, we walk among some of the tallest trees on Earth, including a fascinating tunnel tree that offers a unique perspective on these magnificent giants.
The adventure culminates at Hetch Hetchy Reservoir, an awe-inspiring and tranquil lake with a rich history. This stunning site, once considered a rival to Yosemite Valley, now plays a crucial role in supplying water and hydro-power to the San Francisco Bay Area. While the region is steeped in controversy, its serene beauty provides a meditative backdrop to our exploration.
If you’re longing for open spaces, lush forests, and a quieter experience of Yosemite, this hidden part of California awaits you! Discover local gems like Columbia Cabins for a cozy stay, Rush Creek Lodge for a taste of luxury, and Mountain Sage Coffee & Nursery for delightful refreshments along the way.
