About this tour
Follow your feet on this six-day hiking trip that shows off the very best of Yosemite National Park. Giant sequoia trees, the massive Half Dome rock, stunning views from the top of Sentinel Dome and thunderous waterfalls of the appropriately named Mist Trail – this adventure covers a lot of ground in a short time. Best of all, you get to experience Yosemite with a bit of comfort, thanks to transportation to and from the trailheads and accommodation close to the park’s entrance. But this trip is more than just pretty sights – you’ll also learn about the area’s Native American heritage and pioneer past, and about the important work being done to preserve and protect the region. This is a hiking trip so a good fitness level will help you enjoy all included walks and activities. You will walk up to 8 mi (12.5 km) per day, with elevation gain of 1970 ft (600 m).Yosemite National Park boasts warm summers but be prepared for colder evenings and possibly rainy days.On your final day, you’ll reach San Francisco around 3 pm. This night’s accommodation is not included so please plan your departure accordingly, or pre-book a post-trip night.
