What are some good hikes in Yosemite for teenage boys?|154272

I am taking my 2 teenage sons backpacking in Yosemite for 3 nights. I have never been and would like to know some good, easy hikes that provide a lot of bang for the buck. We are interested in seeing waterfalls, rivers, El Capitan or Half Dome. Any suggestions?

There aren_t really any waterfalls at this time of the year, no rain, and they don_t start again until spring when the snow starts to melt. Merced River that runs through the valley of Yosemite should still be running though.

You can see both Half Dome and El Captain from the valley floor. Here is some hiking information for the park:

Because it snows there, check the local weather and trail conditions before heading out:
