Embark on a 3-day women's only tour of Yosemite National Park. Hike through the park's fern-laden trails, stand on cliffs overlooking the dramatic, glacier-carved mountains, and breathe in the fresh, earthy air of this iconic park.

Day 1: San Francisco to Yosemite National Park
Pass by some exceptional San Francisco sights. Catch views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman’s Wharf, Alcatraz Island, and the San Francisco Skyline as you head east on the Bay Bridge. Taste a piece of California’s rich agricultural hub as you pass through a slice of the Central Valley famous for specialty fruits and nuts such as almonds, walnuts, cherries, and strawberries.

Once you reach the park, dine among giants as you arrive at a grove of Giant Sequoia trees. Take in the meditative views as you stand next to trees that measure up to 300 feet tall, 30 feet wide, and older than one thousand years.

Climb the winding route 4,500 feet above sea level to the gorgeous vista at Tunnel View, which overlooks the expanse of Yosemite Valley and offers spectacular views looking east towards El Capitan, Half Dome, and Bridalveil Falls. Depending on timing, stop off at Yosemite Village or take a quick excursion down a beginner hike before settling into camp.

Once at camp, your guide will hand out camping gear and show you the local amenities and your rooms. Make the ultimate s’mores as your group shares drinks and stories around the campfire.

Day 2: Yosemite High Country
The early bird gets the worm when it comes to exploring the park. Whip together a quick breakfast, slap together some sandwiches for lunch, and head off in the van to start your full day in Yosemite High Country.

Spend a full day exploring Yosemite’s picturesque lakes, hiking to mountain summits that overlook lush greenery, and passing through serene meadows. Your guide will make sure the group takes full advantage of the park, while making sure everyone is comfortable, by customizing the hikes around the groups’ needs.

If your group is not too wiped out by the day’s adventures, now is the time to swap stories and share drinks around the campfire with your new friends.

Day 3: Yosemite Valley
On the last morning, make a quick breakfast, prepare another brown bag lunch, and head into Yosemite Valley. Day three is the perfect time to choose your own adventure in Yosemite Valley.

Hike to a waterfall, rent a bicycle to cruise around the valley floor, check out the visitor’s center, museum, and Ansel Adams Gallery, or relax in the shade by the emerald green Merced River. Regroup for one final group activity, a visit to the El Capitan Meadow to watch the daredevil rock climbers conquering the largest granite monolith in North America.

After a full day of exploring, make your way back to the San Francisco Hilton, arriving in the city around 8:30 PM – 9 PM.
