Three days of hiking and camping. You will be visiting&nbsp;Yosemite Valley, May Lake, Mount Hoffman, Yosemite Falls, El Capitan, Giant Sequoia Trees, Tunnel View, Bridalveil Falls, and Half Dome.&nbsp; 
 
Three days of hiking and camping is the focus of our Yosemite escape camping tour where you will find so many more focal points with stories to last a lifetime. 
 
Day 1: Yosemite Valley 
In the morning of the first day, our guide will meet you downtown at the corner of Mason and O&#39;Farrell Streets in front of the Hilton Hotel at 08:15. Once out of San Francisco, we cross the Central Valley and through the gold country on our way into the mountains. Before reaching Yosemite Valley, we will hike down for a picnic amongst the giant sequoias,&nbsp;the largest living things on Earth. (Meals the first day are not included in the tour price. You will have an opportunity to get food en route to the park. Depending upon group interest or logistics you may visit any of the three Sequoia groves). The hike through the giant sequoias is pleasantly shaded and brings you right up close to these massive wooden monuments, some of which are over one thousand years old and measure up to 30 feet wide and 300 feet tall. Continuing into the park on a 1 1/2-hour guided tour, we descend into Yosemite Valley, the most well-known and captured part of Yosemite (thanks to Ansel Adams&#39; work). While in the Yosemite Valley, your guide will give you an orientation to the park as well as an explanation of the itinerary and options for the next two days. After some free time in Yosemite Valley, you will head for the campsite to set up camp, ending the day with drinks around the campfire as you decide what to do with your next two days in the park.

&nbsp;

Day 2: Yosemite&#39;s High Country 
Rising early, we prepare breakfast and lunch, clean up camp, and head off in the van for a fun day full of hiking, sightseeing, and exploring. Usually, the second day is reserved for exploring Yosemite&#39;s High Country. A group hike to May Lake and Mount Hoffman is the highlight of this day (depending upon snowpack). May Lake is a picturesque example of a High Sierra lake. If you want more of a challenge, you can go on to Mount Hoffman. Located at the geographic centre of the park, Mount Hoffman is a non-technical hike that rewards you with a 360-degree view of the surrounding mountain landscape. At the end of the day, we head back to camp for dinner and time to unwind by the campfire.

&nbsp;

Day 3: Group interest and free time 
Day three is a free day, where the itinerary is based on the interests of the group. Normally we head back into Yosemite Valley, where you can select one of a number of great hikes, rent a bike, or relax in the shade by the emerald green Merced River. After a full day in the park, we head back to San Francisco, arriving around 21:00. In May, June and early July, you have the option of joining a whitewater rafting trip on the Merced River (depending on snowpack). This Class III-IV adventure can be added to your Yosemite Escape adventure for only USD 140-160.

Camping: Camping is easy, but cooperation is the key. Don&#39;t worry if you&#39;ve never camped before because neither have many people. We supply the camping and cooking equipment needed for this kind of trip, using quality tents, camping, and cooking equipment (you will&nbsp;need a sleeping bag). Everybody is expected to take part in the set-up and breakdown of camp.&nbsp;Our professional guides are on stand by&nbsp;to ensure you have a positive camping experience. We camp at comfortable campsites that have hot showers and modern facilities. Swimming is available nearby.

Food: We provide the food, but not the chefs. You guys are the cooks, waiters, dishwashers, and of course the guests. The fare is all-you-can-eat. It is a mixture of chicken, beef and vegetarian. Don&#39;t worry, the food will be very tasty! Most people eat better with us than they do on the rest of their travels.
