Take a day trip from San Francisco to Yosemite National Park, described as the crown jewel of the country's many splendid national parks. You will be guided on a coach tour to highlights such as Bridalveil Falls, Tunnel View, El Capitan, and Yosemite Falls, with a stop for a 1-mile (1.6-km) walk into a grove of giant sequoias*.
Our vans only take 15 passengers, so we are able to stop at more places with less time for loading and unloading of passengers.
*weather permitting, and the hike is not recommended for people with health issues
