The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Highs 70–80°F and a 3–6% rain chance for the weekend
- Free cancellation on all three stays, from $250 a night
- $364 per person, $5,069 below the highest fare we saw
The catch: With one stop each way, travel takes 40h 22m in total: you land Saturday at 10:17 AM and get home Monday at 9:06 PM.
Worth it if you want a quick weekend of granite walls and sequoias and can take Monday off; skip it if you want a slow, relaxed weekend.
Worth it if you can handle a long travel day. The total is $1,391 for two: the flights at $728 plus 2 nights at Lower Unit-Yosemite Woods-Inside Yosemite at $663, with taxes and fees included but not resort fees, a checked bag or spending money. The trip runs Oct 23–25, 2026, on G4 with one stop each way, so it's not nonstop.

Why now
$1,391 for two, all in, gets you round-trip flights at $728 and 2 nights at $663. Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money aren't included. We'd set aside $520 for spending, which brings the weekend to $1,911. The fare is $364 per person, $5,069 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, out of 10 offers. The forecast is the other reason to go: highs of 70°F to 80°F, lows of 46°F to 56°F and a rain chance of 3% to 6% across Oct 23–25. That's hiking weather in the valley, with cool mornings and clear skies for Tunnel View and the Mist Trail. Prices are all-in as we found them and can change before you book.
The kind of trip this is
This is a short, full nature weekend: big granite walls, waterfall trails and old sequoias, with little downtime. It suits a couple or two friends who like to hike, start early and don't mind a long travel day on each end. The pace is brisk. You get Saturday after landing and Sunday until the afternoon flight in the park, so pick your hikes ahead of time.

Where to stay in Yosemite
Our best-value pick is Lower Unit-Yosemite Woods-Inside Yosemite, an apartment in Yosemite West. It's $663 for the 2 nights ($332 a night) and rated 7.5 from 19 reviews, and it's the stay counted in the total. The top-rated choice is Yosemite View Lodge, a 3-star lodge in El Portal on the Merced River just outside the west gate. It's $808 for the stay ($404 a night) and rated 8.1 from 6,311 reviews. The budget option is Curry Village in Yosemite Valley, right beneath the big walls, at $500 ($250 a night) and rated 7.4 from 1,236 reviews. The room there is an unheated tent, and lows reach 46°F. All three are room only with free cancellation.
