What to expect
Wawona
We'll make a stop to see the historic Wawona Hotel and talk about the area's historical and ecological importance.
Bridalveil Fall
Take a short walk to the base of the falls and get splashed by its mist!
Yosemite Valley
We’ll spend the day doing short walks along the valley floor to see the cliffs above. Many walks take us along the shores of the Merced River which goes from a raging flow in the spring to a trickle by late fall.
Mirror Lake/Meadow Trail
We’ll take a hike to the peaceful and serene lake for views of Half Dome and North Dome.
Pohono Trail
Tunnel view is one of the most popular views in the park (and possibly the world). We'll hike up the Pohono trail to escape the crowds and see the breathtaking view from our favorite spot. This part of the day will require some uphill hiking!
El Capitan
We’ll stop to take in views of the massive granite wall. We may spend some time watching climbers make their way up with our binoculars.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
