VACATION DETAILS

MT Sobek

Magnificent Yosemite National Park holds a revered place in the hearts of avid adventurers, from its world-renowned granite monoliths to the flower-carpeted meadows and alpine lakes of the Tuolumne high country. Beginning on the shores of Mono Lake, you'll visit an otherworldly desert ecosystem punctuated by dormant volcanoes and fascinatingly shaped tufa towers. Above Tuolumne Meadows, rocky paths take you past sparkling high-country lakes and to sweeping views of the meadows below and the mountains beyond. Your exceptional guides lead you from the dramatic east to the more heavily forested west as you take in breathtaking views of Yosemite Valley icons: Half Dome, El Capitan, and Vernal and Nevada Falls.

• Hike Yosemite's beautiful High Country and enjoy Valley views of Half Dome and Yosemite Falls
• Walk among Yosemite's sky-scraping sequoias and Mono Lake's mystifying tufa formations
