Experience a peaceful outdoor adventure that combines relaxed cycling and scenic hiking in the forest near Yosemite National Park. Beginning close to the small mountain community of Fish Camp, the Big Sandy Ride and Waterfall Hike offers a perfect experience for beginners and families seeking a gentle introduction to mountain biking. The route follows a quiet dirt road that winds through towering trees and beautiful forest landscapes within the Sierra National Forest. As riders gradually make their way uphill, the peaceful surroundings and fresh mountain air create a relaxing journey through one of the most scenic areas near the southern entrance of Yosemite.
Discover hidden natural gems as the ride transitions into a short hike along a historic water diversion channel dating back to the 1800s, leading to the secluded Tenaya waterfall. Here, visitors can enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of the forest, relax beside the flowing water, or cool off in a refreshing natural swimming hole. Depending on the group’s comfort and fitness level, the adventure can continue farther toward Big Sandy Campground, where an additional hike reveals a spectacular secret waterfall hidden in a forest ravine. The return ride provides a smooth downhill journey through an old growth forest, allowing riders to fully appreciate the sights, sounds, and serenity of this remarkable wilderness setting.
