The Experience
What your day looks like
Yosemite is a magnificent wilderness only a few hours’ drive from San Francisco. A Yosemite & Giant Sequoias Day Tour from San Francisco will complete your trip to Northern California. Your day in Yosemite park includes a self-guided 2.5-mile hike in Tuolumne Grove, a grove of Giant Sequoia Trees at elevation with the grove of trees being at the bottom of the trail. After this strenuous hike, you will have a guided tour of Yosemite Valley with our informative and professional guides providing history and insight into one of the earth’s best examples of a glaciated valley. You will stop to photograph Yosemite’s amazing rock formations, expansive skylines, and astounding waterfalls. You will also have about an hour of free time alone to walk, hike, bike, swim, and reflect on the beauty and grandeur of this natural wonder. From doorstep to doorstep, the breathtaking beauty of one of California’s most unique landscapes will give you memories to last a lifetime!
