What To Expect
1
Yosemite National Park
As the audio guides play commentary based on your gps location, you can create your own itinerary along the tour route to match your interests and schedule. Or you can use our trip planners for our suggestions on half, full or multi day itineraries. Some of the many highlights are listed below;
2
Bridalveil Fall
With a drop of 620 feet, Bridalveil Falls puts on a show and is one of Yosemite's must-sees. A short 0.5 mile paved trail will take you to the viewpoint.
3
El Capitan
"El Cap" continues to challenge and inspire rock climbers around the world to achieve new records and style to summit it's 3000foot granite walls.
4
Glacier Point
Oh what a view! The overlook of the Yosemite Valley, Half Dome and Yosemite Falls is breathtaking. A short paved trail leads from the carpark. The view down to Curry Village 3214 feet below can be a little unnerving for some.
5
Half Dome
One of the most well known images of Yosemite is the distinctive shape of Half Dome. However misleading as it was never whole...
6
Hetch Hetchy Reservoir
Looking for a less crowded part of Yosemite Park to explore? The Hetch Hetchy Valley features more granite formations, hikes, spring waterfalls and wildflowers.
7
Olmsted Point
A viewpoint along Tioga Pass looking south to Half Dome, Clouds Rest and Tenaya Canyon.
8
Tioga Pass
High alpine area and road from East Entrance to Yosemite Valley. Once open each season, enjoy the many hikes, wildlflowers or scenic drive.
9
Tuolumne Grove of Giant Sequoias
Superb grouping of Giant Sequioas. Hike a 1 mile downhill to see character trees both dead and alive, including Dead Giant.
10
Wawona Covered Bridge
Wander and explore the Wawona Hotel, collection of horse carriages at the Pioneer Yosemite History Center and old timber covered bridge.
11
Yosemite Falls
Truly one of the iconic images of Yosemite. In spring, snowmelt drives a thunderous amount of water down the upper, middle and lower sections.
12
Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias
Giant Sequoias are the biggest trees in the world, combining tremendous height and thick trunks. The best collection of these is at Mariposa Grove.
