Easy | Meadow Loop - 3.5 miles.
Note: This trail is a loop from behind the Wawona Hotel around the golf course. This is the only unpaved trail in the park where you can walk your dog.
Easy | Swinging Bridge - .75 to 4 miles.
Note: From Wawona Store hike past stables down Forest Drive to the swinging bridge sign. The hike is a 4-mile round-trip from Wawona Store, .75 miles from the chained swinging bridge area. There's another large pullout at about 1.6 miles to create an intermediate hike. During the summer - there's a “swimmin’ hole” at the bridge.
Strenuous | Chilnualna Falls - 8 miles with a 2,400 ft elevation gain.
Note: Great hike in spring.
Check out this episode of Walkin West with Steve Weldon as he hikes Chilnualna Falls and Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias.
