Detailed Itinerary
Day 1 The Yosemite Park Hotel Tour begins with a complimentary pick-up from your San Francisco accommodations. After a scenic drive through the coastal mountains, the Central Valley, and the Foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, we arrive at Yosemite National Park. Once in Yosemite, your guide will give you a 1 1/2 hour narrated tour of Yosemite Valley and surrounding areas with ample photo opportunities. |
|||
Yosemite Valley is approximately 1 mile (1.5 km) wide and 7 miles (10 km) long. During this part of the tour, we make numerous stops for you to enjoy, photograph and appreciate the spectacular beauty that is Yosemite. You will see the valley from a number of great vantage points, the best of which is perhaps Inspiration Point at 4,500 feet above sea level. Yosemite is a mecca for rock climbers, and the sight of people climbing El Capitan's 3,000 ft (1 km) sheer rock face is quite amazing (seasonal). |
|
||
We stay at Cedar Lodge, which is situated in the picturesque Merced River canyon. Because your quide stays at the same hotel, we can offer you a truly guided tour. There’s no need to waste time waiting for bus transfers to get to/from the park, so you can see more of Yosemite. The Lodge has such creature comforts as a restaurant, bar, two swimming pools, a jacuzzi, and private beach access on the Merced River. The river flows cold and heavy in the spring and early summer but is comfortable to swim in during August and September. |

|
Day 2 The High Country of Yosemite ranges from 8,000 ft. to the peak of Mt. Lyle, over 13,000 ft. From Glacier Point (seasonal), you can get a bird’s-eye view of the valley from 3,000 ft above. In addition to the spectacular views, you can take a hike to the top of Sentinel Dome or to Taft Point. The Giant Sequioa is found in only one area of the world, the western slope of the Sierra Nevada mountains. A hike amongst the giant sequoias, the largest living things on the planet makes this two-day tour or Yosemite complete. |
||
For this tour, we ask that you bring only necessary items (what to bring). You can leave your larger luggage at your hotel in San Francisco and travel lightly with no hassles. Yosemite Valley, the High Country, giant sequoias, and the comfort of a bed: our overnight hotel trip has it all! |
