Mist Trail, Yosemite National Park

Yosemite National Park, set in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains, is a dream for hikers, campers, and backpackers alike. The Mist Trail is exactly what it sounds like—a hike alongside two roaring waterfalls (Vernal Fall and Nevada Fall) that will leave you a little damp, depending on the season. It's the perfect way to cool off on a warm day! You can opt for a 2.4-mile round trip to Vernal Fall or push through to Nevada Fall for a 5.4-mile trek. If you're visiting in spring or early summer, be extra careful—the trails get slippery and crowded when the water flow is at its strongest. Shop Yosemite National Park Tees 

Devils Bridge Trail, Coconino National Forest 

Arizona's Coconino National Forest is a massive 1.8 million acres of pure desert magic, and the Devils Bridge Trail is one of its most popular hikes. Why? Because it leads to the largest natural sandstone arch in Sedona. It’s a 4.2-mile out-and-back trail with moderate difficulty, stunning red rock views, and even a sprinkle of wildflowers in spring. Heads up—this trail gets busy, so start early if you want a little peace and quiet. Pro tip: Dry heat is no joke—bring plenty of water (at least 1 liter per person) and plan ahead, especially if you’re running the trail or hiking with kids.

Ewoldsen Trail, Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park

If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing California's Pacific coast, redwood forests, and mountain views all in one hike, the Ewoldsen Trail in Big Sur is calling your name. This 5-mile loop trail weaves through ancient redwood groves, grassy meadows, and coastal mountaintops overlooking the ocean. Bonus: McWay Falls, an 80-foot waterfall that drops straight into the Pacific, is just a short walk away. 

Ozette Triangle Loop Trail, Olympic National Park 

Olympic National Park is a wild mix of mountains, forests, and coastline—and the Ozette Triangle Loop Trail lets you experience it all. This 9.5-mile loop takes you through lush forests and along the rugged coast, so be sure to dress in layers and pack extra snacks. With longer miles comes the need for more water, so don’t skimp on your hydration pack. Keep an eye out for blacktail deer, elk, and even the occasional black bear. Shop Olympic National Park Tees

South Kaibab Trail, Grand Canyon National Park

 It wouldn’t be a hiking list without the Grand Canyon. The South Kaibab Trail is famous for its dramatic, ridgeline descent, offering some of the most open, sweeping views of the canyon. But fair warning—this trail has zero shade, so summer hikes are a no-go. The sweet spot? Off-season hikes when it’s cooler and less crowded. If you're sticking to a day hike, the National Park Service recommends not going past Skeleton Point (a 6-mile round trip). Trust us—the views are worth every step.

It’s a sunny afternoon kind of hike, so take your time, soak in the scenery, and maybe even pack a picnic for the trail. Shop Lake Tahoe Tees.
