Yosemite Park 2 Day Hotel Tour

The Yosemite Park Hotel Tour begins with a complimentary pick-up from your San Francisco accommodations. After a scenic drive through the coastal mountains and the Central Valley, we arrive at Yosemite. Once in Yosemite, your guide will give you a 1 1/2 hour narrated tour of Yosemite Valley and surrounding areas.

Yosemite Valley is approximately 1 mile (1.5 km) wide and 7 miles (10 km) long. During this part of the tour, we make numerous stops for you to enjoy, photograph and appreciate the spectacular beauty that is Yosemite. You will see the valley from a number of great vantage points, the best of which is perhaps Inspiration Point at 4,500 feet above sea level. Yosemite is a mecca for rock climbers, and the sight of people climbing El Capitan's 3,000 ft (1 km) sheer rock face is quite amazing (seasonal).

The High Country of Yosemite ranges from 8,000 ft. to the peak of Mt. Lyle, which is over 13,000 ft. tall! From Glacier Point (seasonal), you can get a bird’s-eye view of the valley from 3,000 ft above. In addition to the spectacular views, you can take a hike to the top of Sentinel Dome or Taft Point. On one of the two days, you will have the opportunity to hike amongst the giant sequoias, the largest living things on the planet. This plant species is found in one area of the world only, the western slope of the Sierra Nevada mountains.

We stay at Cedar Lodge, which is situated in the picturesque Merced River canyon. Because your quide stays at the same hotel, we can offer you a truly guided tour. There’s no need to waste time waiting for bus transfers to get to/from the park, so you can see more of Yosemite. The Lodge has such creature comforts as a restaurant, bar, two swimming pools, a jacuzzi, and private beach access on the Merced River. The river flows cold and heavy in the spring and early summer but is comfortable to swim in during August and September.

For this tour, we ask that you bring only necessary items. You can leave your larger luggage at your hotel in San Francisco and travel lightly with no hassles.

Yosemite Valley, the High Country, giant sequoias, and the comfort of a bed: our overnight hotel trip has it all!
