Yosemite National Park Tour - Ultimate Yosemite Valley Experience

Yosemite is one of the most beautiful National Parks in the world.

Travel through the Great Central Valley and into the Sierra Foothills where the Forty-Niners panned for gold. Follow the beautiful Merced River to the Sierra Nevada Mountains.Glaciers cut through these mountains forming the spectacular granite monuments you will see throughout the park.

If you are planning what time of year to go, this might help: Waterfalls are strongest in late winter, springtime and early summer. The weather is warmest between May and October. The rock formations and cliffs are arguably at their most beautiful when snow covered in winter and springtime. The best time of year for spotting rock climbers is between May and October.
