We stayed in Yosemite national park for a couple of days a few years ago. The hiking was amazing with beautiful tracks and stunning views. The wild life is also spectacular, we saw both bears and bobcats on near distance, be careful though, the bears can be a bit too familiar. We stayed in a cabin but if you decide to go camping you must use specific bear cans for all food you carry, otherwise bears can come looking for your food. I want to recommend the Clouds rest hike, the view from there is just amazing. If you can't get a ticket to Half Dome this might me the second best as you can look down on Half Dome:)
