Activities!

Should you arrive in our favorite little mountain town a bit early, or find yourself with some free time, we wanted to share a few of our favorite ways to soak up the outdoors and enjoy the area.

We hope it gives you some ideas to make the most of your time in the mountains!

  • Here are some of our favorite destinations and things to do in the area!

    • Hiking

      • Jess loves the Pinecrest Lake Loop! It’s about 3.8 miles around the entire lake.

      • Cleo’s Bath is a great (and tough) hike. Bring lots of water and snacks (and some strong knees) ha! It is a bit rocky, but beautiful.

  • Yosemite
