What to expect

Discover Yosemite National Park with eco-friendly guided transportation in a small-group tour.

Leave your car outside the park and journey into Yosemite’s high country. Enjoy the spectacular views as you drive across Tioga Road.

Start the day walking amongst Giant Sequoias in Tuolumne Grove. Spend around two hours and hike a 2.5 miles roundtrip to explore the grove of towering trees. This is a well-paved path but people with health conditions or low levels of fitness should be aware that upon exiting the grove you must walk 1.2 miles with 500 feet of elevation gain.

Arrive at Olmstead Point and admire the unique view of Half Dome while enjoying your lunch box. After lunch, make your way hike up to Pothole Dome and get some amazing 360-degree views of Yosemite’s 11,000 – 13,000 foot peaks.

Enjoy a quick stop at Tenaya Lake and enjoy cooling off and resting in the sun. Then you'll be dropped off at the meeting points.
