Yosemite National Park - 3 Days and 2 Nights Camping Adventure

YOSEMITE CAMPING TRIP: DAY ONE SAMPLE ITINERARY

In the morning of the first day, our guide will meet you downtown at the corner of Mason and O'Farrell Streets in front of the Hilton Hotel at 8:15 am. Once out of San Francisco, we stop to purchase fresh food for our time in the park. Once we have all of our provisions we will cross the Central Valley and through gold country on our way into the mountains. Before reaching Yosemite, we hike down for a picnic amongst the giant sequoias - the largest living things on earth.

The hike through Famous for its rich the Giant Sequoias is pleasantly shaded and brings you right up close to these massive wooden monu-ments, some of which are over one thousand years old and measure up to 30 ft. wide & 300 ft. tall. Continuing into the park on a 1 1/2 hour guided tour, we descend into Yosemite Valley, the most famous and photographed part of Yosemite, thanks to the work of Ansel Adams.

While in the valley, your guide will give you an orientation to the park as well as an explanation of the itinerary and options for the next two days. After some free time in Yosemite Valley, you will head for the campsite to set up the tents ending the day with around the campfire. Meals are not provided on day one.

YOSEMITE CAMPING TRIP: DAY TWO SAMPLE ITINERARY

Rising early, we prepare breakfast and lunch, clean up camp, and head off in the mini coach for a fun day full of hiking, sightseeing, and exploring. Usually the second day is reserved for exploring Yosemite's High Country. A group hike to May Lake and Mount Hoffman is the highlight of this day- depending upon snowpack). May Lake is a picturesque example of a High Sierra Lake. If you want more of a challenge, you can continue past May Lake to Mount Hoffman. Located at the geographic center of the park, Mount Hoffman is a non-technical hike that rewards you with a 360-degree view of the surrounding mountain landscape. At the end of the day we head back to camp for dinner and time to unwind by the campfire.

YOSEMITE CAMPING TRIP: DAY THREE SAMPLE ITINERARY

Day three is what we call the free day where the exact itinerary is flexible, based on the interests of the group. Normally we head into Yosemite Valley where you can choose one of the number of great hikes, rent a bike or relax in the shade by the emerald green Merced River. Breakfast and lunch is provided on day three. After another full day in the park we head back to San Francisco arriving in the city around 9:00pm.
