This trail in Yosemite is a hidden gem that most people have yet to discover.👇🏽
📍 Panorama Trail, Yosemite National Park
✨ Follow @aprilandvikas for more hiking adventures and itineraries like this! 🙌🏽
When people visit Yosemite they usually go for the most popular hikes like Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, and the Mist Trail, but they’ve probably never heard of the Panorama Trail, arguably Yosemite’s most scenic trail.
In our opinion, this is the most underrated trail in the entire National Park. Panorama Trail is one of the most beautiful trails in Yosemite. The best part of this trail is that it has stunning views the entire way with Half Dome in your sight, and Vernal and Nevada Falls as well.
The trail is all downhill to the Illilouette Falls so be prepared for the climb back up.

We had an awesome time hiking to Eagle Point in Bluestone State Park. The hike was only a mile to the summit, but it was a steep climb with a 750-foot elevation gain—definitely a leg burner!
The views from the top were absolutely worth every step. We’re already looking forward to coming back and catching the sunrise from this amazing spot.

Our first real vacation this summer!! ⬇️
As compared to last year where we took a trip every other week, this year has been much different. First off, we are very grateful to have the lifestyle that we have! But we have worked our butts off to get where we are today! 🙌
With that being said, we are not quite where we want to be. April still works a 9-5 full time job while Vikas works hard to get our content creation business up and running. Our goal is to become full time content creators and bloggers! ✨
After months and months of grinding, it was time to take a (short) vacation to the mountains of Virginia. We booked a cabin with @getawayhouse in Stanardsville, Virginia. This weekend getaway was MUCH NEEDED! 😌
Shenandoah National Park, located in Virginia, has a special place in our hearts. When we first met in 2022, all we did was hike in Shenandoah NP all summer long. We love that area so much! ♥️
Our little vacation consisted of hiking in the early morning into the afternoon then relaxing the rest of the day. We both needed this reset. It went by too quickly but we’re so thankful for the time we had to “getaway” and spend time together without the every day life chores. 🌱
If anyone is visiting Shenandoah National Park and needs hiking recommendations, feel free to reach out! 😊
