Yosemite National Park Day Trip

On this tour we'll dive into the most famous national park in the United States, to discover all its secrets, including its giant sequoia groves, the world's tallest trees.

Yosemite National Park Day Trip

Having picked you up from your selected meeting point, we'll leave the city behind and head east to begin this day trip to Yosemite National Park.

During the approximately 4-hour drive, we'll cross the Sierra Nevada Mountains and pass through old western towns and gold rush towns. We'll tell you about John Muir's pivotal role in establishing America's first protected wilderness area.

Once in Yosemite, we'll make a photo stop at the Tunnel View overlook to see sights such as the granite formation Half Dome, the Cathedral Peak mountain range, and Bridalveil Falls.

Afterwards, next to the Yosemite Valley Lodge, you'll have free time for lunch and to explore the park at your own pace. Recommended activities include walking to Yosemite Falls, strolling through Cook's Meadow or relaxing by the Merced River.

After regrouping, we'll drive past El Capitan Meadow, then stop at the Valley View overlook for views of the Merced River and Cathedral Rocks.

Our last stop will be the Giant Sequoia Grove (Tuolumne Grove), home to the Grizzly Giant Sequoia, one of the largest sequoias in the world.

Itinerary Changes

Due to safety reasons, between November and March, and whenever weather conditions prevent it, we'll substitute the hike through Tuolumne Grove with more time in Yosemite Valley.
