Yosemite Tahoe Adventure

Day 1: Fly into Fresno, California. Meet your motor coach guide at the airport. Depart for Groveland, California for your beautiful resort located at the entrance to Yosemite National Park. You’ll spend three nights at this modern, rustic lodge built in 2016. Enjoy your 2 ¾ hour trip to Groveland.  Tonight, you’ll check in and enjoy a welcome reception dinner and s’mores around the firepit. Rest up for your first day of hiking in the morning. Dinner and Welcome Reception Included.

Day 2: 7:00 AM Tabata, HIIT or yoga class led by your favorite trainer. Prepare yourself for some of the most spectacular scenery and hiking in the world. This two-in-one Yosemite Valley and giant sequoia guided naturalist hike and tour is a memorable, fun day getting to know Yosemite from an insider’s perspective. Let us do the driving while you enjoy dramatic waterfalls, a spectrum of colorful landscapes, stunning panoramic vistas and majestic giant sequoia trees.

The Yosemite Valley portion of this tour showcases the Valley’s icons as well as its hidden secrets. You’ll gain an understanding of how glaciers, rivers, rocks and erosion created this scenic wonder, and get some insight into John Muir’s legacy.

The giant sequoia portion of our day includes a 3-mile round trip walk to a grove of the magnificent trees. Giant sequoias, among the largest living organisms on earth, are one of the reasons that Yosemite was declared a National Park. Once you stand next to one you’ll fully appreciate the magnitude of their grandeur.

Return to the hotel this evening. Depending on the day of the week, evening activities vary. A list will be available a week before you arrive. You can always count on s’mores around the outdoor firepit from 7-9 pm. Other options range from Glass Blowing, Yosemite Paint Party, Bocce Ball or just relax around the large heated outside water pool. Box Lunch and Dinner included.

Throughout the day, your guide will share their extensive knowledge of Yosemite’s natural and human history, and you’ll learn and discover much more than most who visit the park.
