What happens on the day
Yosemite National Park is one of the most sought-after natural landscapes in the world. And with iconic sights like giant sequoias, cascading waterfalls and granite cliffs, it’s no wonder. You’ll explore the breathtaking scenery of the park and sleep under the stars on this fully guided 3-day camping adventure.
Day 1
Start your tour among the expansive shade of the giant sequoias, some of which are over one thousand years old and measure up to 300 feet tall. Descend into Yosemite Valley and explore its most famous area with views of the valley toward El Capitan, Half Dome, and Bridalveil Fall. After some free time, follow your guide to the campsite and set up your tent. Toast the beauty of your natural surroundings with your new friends before falling asleep beneath the starry sky.
Day 2
There’s no need for an alarm clock. You’ll wake to gentle breezes and birds chirping – the perfect soundtrack for a day of hiking, sightseeing, and exploring. Enjoy breakfast, pack a picnic lunch, then venture into the beauty of Yosemite's high country at May Lake and picturesque Mount Hoffman. Marvel at the 360-degree views of the stunning mountain landscape before you hike back to camp and unwind over a delicious dinner by the warmth of a crackling campfire.
Day 3
The final day is set aside for exploring Yosemite at your own pace. With lots of activities to choose from, you can go for another hike, rent a bike, or take a dip in the cool waters of the emerald green Merced River. Close out your epic Yosemite adventure, and head back to San Francisco, returning at approximately 9:00 pm.
This Yosemite Camping Adventure delivers exciting adventures in the great outdoors with stories to last a lifetime!
