***Overview content below***
For fresh air and a landscape unlike any other, head northeast to the Sierra Nevada. Just as John Muir did, your group will stumble across breath-taking Yosemite Valley. On the way, travel through the fertile Central Valley and sample the locally harvested fruits and nuts. As the road climbs, you’ll start heading through the Gold Country, the backdrop for America’s famed 19th century Gold Rush. After you are hit with striking views this park has to offer, you can hike with your guide below the gigantic Sequoia trees and stand along the edge of a waterfall, overlooking the Yosemite Valley in all its glory.
