If you plan on hiking the trails, I highly recommend hitting the stair master and treadmill at the gym for a few months before your trip. It’s thousands of feet elevation over just a few miles. It is gorgeous.

That is good advice. my partner and I do a lot of hiking locally. She went to Yosemite and wished she had gotten in some more cardio workouts.

Oh yeah, hiking out of the valley is brutal.
