Highlights of Yosemite in one weekend
Description:
Even in 1.5 days, you can see much of what Yosemite has to offer without going overboard (For me this translates to not more exhausted after the weekend than you were before the weekend) - including a good solid hike and lots of beautiful views.

Day 1 - Yosemite National Park
Got in late Friday night after driving up from San Francisco- just in time to grab pizza at Curry Village (closes at 10:00) and settle into our little cabin in Curry Village.

Grabbed a packed lunch at the Curry Village grocery store, enjoyed amazing vistas and waterfalls on the rather challenging hike up to Vernal and Nevada falls. Waterfalls were slim in September, but still beautiful. Took a well deserved nap before heading to Awahnee for a luxurious dinner.

Spent the morning checking out Yosemite Village and Ansel Adams Gallery. Then drove up to Glacier Point, stopping at the Tunnel View for a gorgeous vista. Good hiking around Glacier Point and at Sentinel Dome. Stopped for lunch just after leaving the park and then sadly headed back to San Francisco.
