Join us on this breathtaking one-way tour to Yosemite National Park, whose towering granite peaks, cascading waterfalls and nature trails are perhaps the most stunning in the world. Our expert guides will make sure you don’t miss the history, geologyandwildlife that make Yosemite Valley the jewel of the U.S. National Parks.

Your tour begins with a convenient hotel pick up in San Francisco. Sit back and enjoy the scenery as we explain how glitter in the American River sparked the California gold rush; whatgeological forces made Yosemite’s dramatic landscapes; and the role John Muir played in the formation of America’s first protected wilderness.

After entering Yosemite National Park, we’ll make our way to a scene made famous by photographer Ansel Adams. Take a moment at Tunnel View. Capture yourself with El Capitan, Half Dome, Sentinel Dome, Glacier Point, and Cathedral Peak as your background.

Once you’ve had your fill of photographs from this perch overlooking the valley, the tour will arrange a memorablestop where you can get eye to eye with wispy Bridalveil Fall.

After arriving in Yosemite Valley, you will have free time for lunch and exploring on your own. Take advantage of our bonus audio tour that takes you on a hike through Sentinel and Cook's Meadow to Yosemite Falls.
