Join us on this breathtaking tour of Yosemite National Park, whose towering granite peaks, cascading waterfalls and nature trails are perhaps the most stunning in the world. This award-winning tour spends the most time in Yosemite and includes a unique hike among ancient Giant Sequoias.

Your tour starts with a convenient hotel pickup in San Francisco. Sit back and enjoy the scenic drive as we share stories about how gold in the American River ignited the California Gold Rush, the geological forces that shaped Yosemite’s breathtaking landscapes, and John Muir’s pivotal role in establishing America’s first protected wilderness.

Once inside Yosemite National Park, we’ll head to the iconic Tunnel View, a scene made famous by photographer Ansel Adams. Pause here to capture unforgettable photos with landmarks like El Capitan, Half Dome, Sentinel Dome, and Cathedral Peak as your backdrop. After taking unforgettable photos, we’ll stop to bring you up close to the misty Bridalveil Autumn.

Upon arrival at our designated stop in Yosemite Valley, enjoy free time to have lunch and explore at your own pace. Set out on a scenic hike to Yosemite Falls, wander through Cook’s Meadow, or relax by the peaceful Merced River.

After rejoining the group, your Yosemite experience continues with a stop at El Capitan Meadow, where you’ll have time for photos and to learn about the world’s largest granite monolith and its famous climbing culture. Next, we’ll stop at the Valley View vista point, overlooking the Merced River, El Capitan, and the towering spires of Cathedral Rocks.

Our last stop in the park is the breathtaking Tuolumne Grove of Giant Sequoias, where you’ll have the unique chance to hike among some of the oldest and largest trees on Earth. Walking among them is like stepping into another time, where you can fully appreciate the beauty and resilience of these remarkable trees.

Important: Between November and March, when the trail is not safe due to snow and ice accumulation, we substitute the hike with additional time in Yosemite Valley.
