Speaking of conquering the day, let's talk about our first activity - hiking Chilnualna Falls. It's a full-day hike that's around 9 miles round trip, but don't worry, it's not too challenging. This hike is worth every step, just make sure to pack enough water, snacks, and sunscreen.
After a long day of hiking, it's time to refuel. And what better way to do that than with a delicious sandwich or salad from Deli Delicious? Pick up your lunch before you head to the trail and enjoy it with a view at Chilnualna Falls.

Last but not least, end your day with a bang at the Yosemite VR Experience -- the only permanent Positron Power Virtual Reality theater in the United States. This virtual reality theater offers a high-quality experience that will transport you to different worlds and scenarios. I highly recommend trying "Experience Yosemite", a 15-minute cinematic immersive experience made specifically for the Yosemite Cinema and is an immersive experience that allows the viewer to see, hear, feel, and smell Yosemite National Park in a way never done before.
It's a fun and memorable way to end your Yosemite getaway.
