To preface, I did read a ton of other posts about short trips. Many of them were a few years old or more, so just posting to see if there are any current tips based on what I've found!

My kids and I (34F, kids are 12, 8, 6) are spending 4 days in Yosemite. We recently went last September and hit some of the main points (though my oldest and I were both quite sick so missed a lot due to lack of energy). Because the Merced river is likely too high for rafting or swimming, I'm thinking of spending a day in Sequoia and/or Kings Canyon. Here's what I've come up with for Sequoia:

• One of the visitor centers to get our passports stamped, and maybe a junior ranger program?
• Hospital Rock for the petroglyphs (brief)
• Hanging Rock for some fun pictures (hopefully brief?)
• Morro Rock
• Crescent Meadow (I initially took this one off, but my kids enjoyed El Capitan Meadow at Yosemite so... maybe?)
• All of the Trees: Giant Forrest Museum (?), General Sherman tree/trail, Congress trail
• Tokopah Falls

We will likely take things slow (neurodivergent kiddos in tow), and take lots of breaks for snacks and such. Is this too much for a day trip from Yosemite for our crew? Are there things I missed or things that maybe aren't worth it? I tried to map things, but if there is a better order for things I appreciate suggestions!
