Food scene

Our favorite place for a bite either before or after hiking in Yosemite. We love their chicken fried steak and meatloaf. In the winter and spring, they may only be open on weekends so we suggest giving them a call first.

The best ice cream in Groveland! Lionel's favorite is the banana pie smoothie. The shop also has charming household goodies.

We love Charlotte’s Tavern at the Charlotte hotel in downtown Groveland. The cocktails are amazing, and we especially love their pork chop and fried chicken for dinner. The staff is so friendly!

We like the meals that are reasonably priced at the Iron Door Saloon. It's also allegedly the oldest saloon in California! They also have great live music on the weekends in the evenings!

Sightseeing

Definitely a bit further out (about 50 minute drive) but if you happen to be in Sonora, definitely drop by Indigeny. They have the most delicious cider and beautiful grounds with picnic tables where you can relax. On the weekend, there is also a bbq food truck with delicious ribs!

You'll need a 4x4 or you can hike this trail which will take you to the river. It's a lovely spot to dip in the water or bring a picnic.

A nice starter Yosemite hike is the Mist to Vernal Falls trail. It's a good climb but it's more beginner friendly than many others.
