    Hiking

    All told, the Pohono Trail travels 13.7 miles (22 km) along the south rim of Yosemite Valley, offering stunning and less-crowded views. Hiking the entire trail from end-to-end requires a vehicle shuttle to get you back to your starting point; there is no public transit. However, you can also use segments of the trail as access points to help you reach special viewpoints.
