Catch views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf, Alcatraz Island and the incomparable San Francisco Skyline as we head east on the Bay Bridge. You'll taste a piece of California's rich agricultural hub as we pass through a slice of the Central Valley famous for specialty fruits and nuts such as almonds, walnuts, cherries, and strawberries. Once we reach the park, prepare to dine among giants as we arrive at a grove of Giant Sequoia trees. You'll take in the meditative views as next to trees that measure up to 300 feet tall, 30 feet wide, and older than one thousand years.
Are your cameras ready? The shuttle will climb the winding route 4,500 feet above sea level to the gorgeous vista at Tunnel View, which overlooks the expanse of Yosemite Valley and offers spectacular views looking east towards El Capitan, Half Dome, and Bridalveil Falls. Depending on timing, the group may stop off at Yosemite Village or take a quick excursion down a beginner hike before settling into camp.
Once at camp, your guide will hand out camping gear and show you the local amenities. You'll make the ultimate s'mores as your group shares drinks and stories around the campfire, but don't forget to get some sleep for a full-day of exploring the park!

Prepare to spend a full day exploring Yosemite's picturesque lakes, hiking to mountain summits that overlook lush greenery, and passing through serene meadows. Your guide will make sure the group takes full advantage of the park, while making sure everyone is comfortable, by customizing the hikes around the groups' needs.
If your group is not too wiped out by the day's adventures, now is the time to swap stories and share drinks around the campfire with your new friends. Don't forget to rest up before your last day at Yosemite!
Day 3: Yosemite Valley
On the last morning, we'll make a quick breakfast, prepare another brown bag lunch, make sure all the camping gear is put away before heading into Yosemite Valley.
