Yosemite is one of the most beautiful National Parks in the world.
Yosemite Valley is located about 215 miles south east of San Francisco. Visitors should spend at least one night in order to see the incredible sights in and around the Yosemite Valley.
Bridalveil Fall
The Ahwahneechee called this place Pohono, "Sprit of the Puffing Wind." The wind swirls about the cliff, often lifting the falling water and blowing it from side to side in delicate free-fall. It is 62 story high.
Half Dome
Half Dome rises to an elevation of 8,842 feet. At 87 million years old, the type of granite making up the dome is the youngest plutonic rock in the valley. (Plutonic rock is formed beneath the earth's surface by intense heat, pressure, and slow cooling.)

Round Trip by bus from San Francisco, Oakland & Pleasanton.
1st Day. 227 miles.
San Francisco pick up between 6:15 and 6:45 from downtown hotels, depart by 7:00. Travel east through San Joaquin Valley. Brief rest stop around 10:30. Enter Yosemite about 12:15.
NOTE: Due to recent rock slide, we travel on Highway 120. Due to a rock slide, east of Briceburg it is not possible to travel to Yosemite National Park via Highway 140 from Merced. Arch Rock Entrance is open for traffic between Yosemite Valley and El Portal. Tours from San Francisco to Yosemite are now using Highway 120 east from Tracy via Oakdale, known as Big Oak Flat Road. Travel time remains about the same. This shorter route has spectacular views of Don Pedro Reservoir and Yosemite Valley.
Valley Sights: On the way in we drive up to Tunnel View to see most of Yosemite Valley including El Capitan, Bridalveil Fall and Half Dome. Driving on the south side of Merced River you see Three Brothers, Sentinel Rock, Yosemite Falls and meadows.
Past the Chapel and crossing the Sentinel Bridge the drop off at Yosemite Lodge or The Ahwahnee Hotel is at about 1:45. Your luggage is stored and you have time to take the free shuttle in the valley and get familiar. At 4:00 you can check in and get tour tickets for the next day. You will have free time to walk to Yosemite Falls, take the free shuttle to the Visitor Center and other places in the Valley.
