Day 1: Hike in Yosemite Valley Start your adventure with a Sunday morning pickup in Fresno. We'll head north to Yosemite National Park, where you’ll stretch your legs on the Mirror Lake hike. Surrounded by majestic mountains, it’s a sight to behold. After a picnic by Yosemite Falls and a brisk hike, we’ll visit Tunnel View to see the iconic sights of El Capitan, Half Dome, and Bridalveil Fall.
Day 2: Hike Hetch Hetchy and Swim in the Tuolumne River Our hike around Hetch Hetchy Reservoir covers a scenic quarter of its 28-mile loop. You’ll enjoy views of Wapama Falls crashing down the cliffs. After the hike, cool off with a swim in the South Fork of the Tuolumne River—don't forget your swimsuit!
Day 3: Hike the Mist Trail to Vernal Falls We shuttle to the Mist Trail where a challenging hike awaits. You’ll ascend 1,600 feet to Vernal Fall, navigating steep stone steps right next to the cascading water. Reach the footbridge for a stunning view of the waterfall, then hike up to Clarke Point before looping back on the John Muir trail.
Day 4: Rock Climbing in Half Dome Village Fuel up with a hearty breakfast before a day of rock climbing and rappelling. Suitable for all skill levels, our climbing class in Half Dome Village offers everything from knot tying to navigating vertical faces.
