June Lake really isn't a very good option for staying at Yosemite. The Tioga Road is very steep and goes up to 9000 feet. It is two hours to Yosemite and then a few more to the valley floor.
The second time I hiked Angel's Landing I was about half way up the chains and I got passed by a group of a dozen teenage girls who were acting like they were walking through the mall. Laughing, playing and having a blast. They blew right past me. When I got to the top they were all standing around giggling. I went up to one of them and asked what kind of group it was. I was told they all worked locally and Friday was their day off so every Friday they hiked to the top of Angel's Landing. Up until then I thought I had really accomplished something. They brought me back to reality.
When you hike Angel's Landing you hike on the valley floor for the first mile and then you end up in Refrigerator Canyon. At the end of the canyon is Walter's Wiggles. This is something that should be on everyone's bucket list. At the top of Walter's Wiggles is Scout's Landing and then the chains start. So have the whole family get to Scout's Landing so that you can experience Walter's Wiggles. It is a really easy hike to Scout's Landing.
