Yosemite is one of the coolest places on earth. It's about 3-4 hours from me.
You might want to allow some extra time to see as much of it as you can.

Yosemite is about an hour from here (well, the south gate is. The valley floor is about an hour and a half from here). I left my number elsewhere, give us a call.

There's a cool place located under Angel Falls...But you have to kinda hike to get there, its not hard, you should be able to see the trail once you're right under Angel Falls...once you make that little hike....aaawww man, is it beautiful....you have your own waterfall, and lake, and an awesome view....nobody is ever there......

Omg, Sue!! You're gonna love it!! The chally wouldn't be all the useful anyways, they only allow cars to drive in and out.  Yosemite is awesome.  Are you guys going to stay at Curry Village??  I'd suggest a cabin if you do.  I can't sleep in those tent cabins.  One time me and Brian were chillin in out tent cabin at like 2 PM when we heard yelling and scurying past our tent cabin.  We ran out to see the rangers chase a baby bear right between ours tent and the one next to us (which was like 2 feet away).  Couldn't sleep all night.  ANYWAYS, not trying to scare you.  I just scare easily.  I love it so much there and can't wait to go again.  It's soooo relaxing and beautiful..

Yosemite is beautiful,but I belive  the big trees that you can drive through are on the northern coast of California. Have a good time.

Even though they're on our state flag, we have no more grizzlies in California ( except for zoos ). The only ones left are in very Northern parts of the U.S. and in Canada.
