Yosemite National Park Tour - 3 Day Camping and Hiking

• The campsite we use is good. It has clean bathroom with hot shower facilities, fresh drinking water and is situated in the picturesque Merced River canyon close to the river.
• Because we drive to the campsite it means you don't have to carry your backpacks with you. We just leave them in the van and all you need to hike with is a day pack.
• We leave San Francisco in the morning after pickup from The Hilton Hotel. Once out of the city 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 the Gold Country on our way into the mountains. On this first day we hike down to the Giant Sequoia trees for a picnic lunch, among the largest living things on earth.
• The hike through the Sequoias is shaded and pleasant and brings you right up close to these massive wooden monuments, some of which are over one thousand years old and measure up to 30ft wide & 300ft tall.
• Continuing into the park on an 1 1/2 hour guided tour, we descend into Yosemite Valley, which is the most famous and picturesque part of Yosemite with some of the world's tallest waterfalls and incredible vistas made famous by the photographer Ansel Adams.
