Looking for things to do in Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite National Park? I’ve rounded up my favorite activities in the peaceful high country.

While Tuolumne Meadows does, indeed, center around a large meadow, it also has roaring waterfalls, rushing rivers, and huge granite peaks and domes: Yosemite in miniature!

The Tioga Road offers a 39-mile scenic drive between Crane Flat and Tuolumne Meadows through forests and past meadows, lakes, and granite domes.

This will take 5-6 days, with well marked trails with incomparable views. You will have isolation from the crowds in Yosemite Valley, but be prepared for grueling hikes with immediate payoff from surrounding scenery and the chance to see several iconic Yosemite landmarks in one trip.

Don't miss the Tioga Pass highlights on your next trip to Yosemite. Tioga Pass is a gorgeous drive with stunning vistas and epic hiking.
