The Panorama Trail in Yosemite National Park is a stunning hiking route that offers breathtaking views of some of the park's most iconic landmarks. Starting at Glacier Point, the trail winds its way down through lush meadows and past Nevada Fall and Vernal Falls. While this is a truly incredible hiking experience, I would not recommend it with young children. The logistics are challenging, as you need to either shuttle to the trailhead or drive, park, and send someone up in the shuttle later to retrieve the car. In addition to this, the path is very steep and can get slippery with the water from the falls. If you are without kids or are confident in their hiking ability, this is an absolute must!
