Description

from Tower Tours: Yosemite in a Day

Yosemite National Park is the “Crown Jewel” of the National Parks System! Enjoy this full-day Yosemite tour from San Francisco to one of the nation’s oldest national parks!

The Yosemite in a Day tour from Tower Tours begins with a three to four-hour drive to Yosemite Valley. You will have a brief rest stop halfway to the valley. While on board the bus, your tour guide will provide narration, and you will see such sights as:

Bridal Veil Falls
El Capitan
Half Dome
Merced River
Valley views

Once in the valley, you can enjoy up to 3 hours of leisure time exploring the park. You can walk to the base of Yosemite Falls, check out the visitor center, visit the Ansel Adams Gallery, stop at the Ahwahnee Hotel, rent a cruiser bike, or hike some of the trails that originate in the valley.

Although you could spend three weeks in Yosemite, the three hours of leisure time you get on your own is enough time to understand why Yosemite is one of America’s most popular national parks.
