Description
Spend three unforgettable days exploring Yosemite’s most iconic landscapes on this all-inclusive guided adventure. The Yosemite Explorer Package by Echo Adventure Cooperative blends expert local knowledge with the freedom of a private, small-group experience. Each day showcases a new side of the park, from giant sequoia groves to shimmering alpine lakes and cascading waterfalls. Day 1 begins with a morning pickup from your hotel or campsite and a scenic drive into Yosemite’s High Country. You’ll hike among the towering trees of the Tuolumne Grove of Giant Sequoias, swim in the crystal-clear waters of Tenaya Lake, and enjoy a picnic lunch surrounded by meadows and granite domes. During winter, the itinerary adapts for a snowshoe exploration of the same remarkable terrain. Day 2 shifts to Yosemite Valley for an afternoon and evening of sightseeing, hiking, and swimming beneath its world-famous cliffs. The day culminates with a steak BBQ dinner along the Merced River—an unforgettable dining experience framed by golden light and towering granite walls. Day 3 invites you into the lesser-known Hetch Hetchy Valley for a 5-mile round-trip hike to Wapama Falls. If you’re up for more adventure, you can extend the trail to Rancheria Falls before a hearty hiker’s lunch and a leisurely return hike. Throughout your journey, guides provide natural and cultural insight, ensuring every stop connects you deeper with Yosemite’s story. All transportation, park entry, meals, water, and equipment are included, so you can focus on the beauty around you. Whether you’re new to Yosemite or returning for another look at its wonders, this guided three-day adventure captures the park’s heart—majestic, timeless, and wild.
