The talk show queen's Yosemite camping adventures to air this Friday
When Oprah Winfrey and friend Gayle King went camping earlier this month, the cameras followed. Their Oct. 1-2 activities in Yosemite National Park included touring the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias, Tunnel View, a campfire chat, a mule ride and guided fly-fishing along the Merced River. Their shelter for the night? An REI pop-up trailer stationed at the national park's Lower Pines campground. The duo's adventure is set to air in two parts on Friday, Oct. 29 and Monday, Nov. 1, 2010.

Style your own "girls getaway" trip
To plan your own Sierra camping adventure, hit up one of Mono County's campgrounds, hotels or cabins, just over the Tioga Pass from where the famous pair pitched their tent. Tioga Pass (Hwy. 120), the scenic road that connects Yosemite Valley with Mono County, is currently open and will remain passable until winter snows arrive (visit the CalTrans web site and enter "120" to view any highway restrictions before you depart). Still need some inspiration? Check out snapshots of the views Oprah and Gayle witnessed on their trip on Yosemiteblog.com, which now showcases the wonders of Yosemite and Mono Lake.
