Nestled in the heart of the Sierra Nevada mountains, these parks are renowned for their towering granite cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and pristine alpine meadows. Our expertly crafted itinerary blends iconic landmarks with hidden gems, offering a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.

Our journey begins with an early rendezvous in Los Angeles on the first day, followed by a scenic drive through California’s Central Valley to Kings Canyon. Here, we’ll explore the Big Stump Loop, marvel at ancient sequoia stumps, and visit the awe-inspiring Boyden Cavern. As we venture into Cedar Grove, we’ll enjoy tranquil hikes through Zumwalt Meadow and witness the powerful cascade of Roaring River Falls, providing a sense of solitude and a deeper connection with nature.

Next, we set off for Sequoia National Park, home to some of the largest and oldest trees on Earth. Sequoia trees, known for their immense size and longevity, can reach heights of over 300 feet and live for thousands of years. We’ll visit the General Grant Tree and the General Sherman Tree, the largest tree by volume on the planet. In the afternoon, we’ll hike to the top of Moro Rock, offering panoramic views of the Great Western Divide and the Sierra Nevada mountains. The evening is free to relax and reflect on the majesty of the sequoias.

We then journey north to Yosemite National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its granite cliffs, waterfalls, and giant sequoias. We’ll begin with a visit to Lower Yosemite Falls, one of the tallest waterfalls in North America, followed by a stop at Tunnel View for panoramic views of Yosemite Valley, including El Capitan, Bridalveil Fall, and Half Dome.

In the evening, we gather for a welcome dinner to set the tone for the adventures ahead.

The following day is dedicated to exploring Yosemite Valley at your own pace. The Mist Trail, renowned for its breathtaking views and challenging terrain, begins at Happy Isles and follows the Merced River to Vernal Fall Footbridge, offering a stunning view of the 317-foot Vernal Fall. The trail then becomes steeper, ascending alongside the waterfall and continuing to Nevada Fall, another 594-foot waterfall.

Other activities include renting bicycles, taking leisurely strolls through Cook’s Meadow, or relaxing by the Merced River with a picnic.

On the final day, we embark on a scenic drive from Yosemite to San Francisco, passing through the rolling foothills and vast agricultural fields of the Central Valley, one of the world’s most productive agricultural regions. Upon arrival in San Francisco, we’ll conclude our journey with a final group reflection, reminiscing about the incredible landscapes and experiences shared over the past five days.
