Itinerary

  1. 1

    Yosemite Falls

    5 min

    Yosemite Falls is a three-part system, dropping more than 2,400 feet from rim to valley. In spring, snowmelt turns it into a roaring, mist-filled force you can hear before you see. By late summer, it can nearly vanish — the same cliff, a completely different experience.

  2. 2

    Yosemite Valley

    Pass by

    The trail will head though a forest on a gentle talus slope. Canyon live oak thrives here by wedging its roots into cracks, surviving where little else can. Mixed in are Douglas-fir and incense cedar — the same tree whose clean-cut wood ends up in pencils.

  3. 3

    Yosemite National Park

    Pass by

    Amazing vista of the park and valley from this trail.

  4. 4

    Ahwahnee

    Pass by

    We'll walk through the Ahwahnee Meadow and learn about the crazy ideas that the National Park Service had of entertaining tourists in the past. Bears in the garbage as spectacle and intentionally firefalls every night.

  5. 5

    Ahwahnee Historic Building

    1 hour

    We'll end up at the Ahwahnee Hotel - one of the most elegant and famous hotels in the world and a great place to grab a drink or a meal...or just rest.

Meeting and pickup

The tour begins on the sidewalk just in front of the Yosemite Lodge Reception Desk building.

End point

The tour ends at the Ahwahnee Hotel...which is a great place to grab a celebratory drink or coffee.
