| Yosemite is one of the most beautiful national parks in the
world. This fully guided tour will guide you through the highlights
of the park all in one day. Our small groups with 14 people
or fewer allow much greater flexibility for sightseeing and
various options inside the park.
The Yosemite tour lasts between 12 and 15 hours. Yosemite
National Park is located 200 miles east of San Francisco (around
a 3 1/2 hour drive). After a scenic drive through the East
Bay we head up into the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. It
was here, in 1848 that the discovery of gold by James Marshall
started the California gold rush. We will pass through one
of the original gold towns. We arrive in Yosemite National
Park late in the morning, where your tour director will narrate
your journey through all the wonders.
Yosemite is home to North America's five highest waterfalls,
including Yosemite Falls, Ribbon Falls and Sentinel Falls.
We will also make stops at the famous cliffs of Half Dome,
Cathedral Rocks and the 3500ft El Capitan where we will watch
the climbers on their 4-7 day journey.
The tour allows over 4 hours inside the park. Lunch is taken
in Yosemite Valley. Options in the afternoon usually include
a hike to the Giant Sequoias (the largest and oldest trees
in the world)
