Yosemite Valley Blanketed in Snow |
En Route to the park we cross through the Central Valley, the agricultural heartland of California. Famous for its rich volcanic soil, the Central Valley is the largest farming region in the United States. The section we drive through is best known for specialty fruits and nuts such as almonds, walnuts, cherries and strawberries. After a quick rest stop we enter the rolling foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Continuing west brings us to the California Gold Country and the gold rush town of Groveland before we wind our way into Yosemite National Park.
Winter in Yosemite Park brings meters of snow that blanket the granite peaks in sheets of pristine white. Photograph the famous waterfalls and rock formations of Yosemite Valley highlighted with snow. Half Dome becomes particularly magnificent with a halo of fresh powder as does the mighty Merced River as it winds through meadows of silent beauty.

Play in the Winter Fun |
Because of our small group size we can incorporate multiple photo stops into our tour so you can better enjoy your time in the park. After a tour of Yosemite Valley we stop for the afternoon near the base of Yosemite Falls where there are a variety of options for lunch (not included). After eating you will have 3-4 hours of free time to explore the valley as you choose.
You can walk to the base of Yosemite Falls, check out the Visitor's Center, visit the Ansel Adams Gallery, stop in at the Ahwahnee Hotel or hike some of the trails that originate from the valley (weather permiting). Although you could spend three weeks in Yosemite, the three hours you get on your own is enough time to understand why Yosemite is one of America's most popular national parks. Regrouping again in the late afternoon, we head for San Francisco stopping for a short break before arriving back in the city and dropping you at your lodging between 8:30 and 9:00pm.
