PLEASE MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS as soon as possible.

Day 1: Pick up from almost any hotel in central San Francisco area between 6:15 and 6:45. Direct motor coach leaves San Francisco around 7:00 going through Livermore Valley and over Altamont Pass. With a short stop en route, arrival at Yosemite Park Big Oak Flat entrance is at about 12:00. Dropping in to Yosemite Valley you see magnificent sights. Driving along south side of Merced River you see the The Half Dome and waterfalls during winter, spring and summer months. The tour drop off at Yosemite Lodge is at about 1:45. If you are staying at Curry Village or The Ahwahnee Hotel the shuttle takes you there. Check in is at about 4:00 so they store your luggage and you have time to take the free shuttle in the valley and get familiar with the area

Day 2: you have reservations to take the Glacier Point Tour leaving Yosemite Lodge at 8:30 a.m. This takes about four hours and goes up to about 8,000 feet in elevation. When that tour is not operating or if the elevation bothers you the alternate is the 2-hour Yosemite Valley tour. If you stay two nights you can take the 8-hour Grand Tour (instead of Glacier Point) that includes Mariposa Grove of Big Trees and Glacier Point at an additional cost of about $41 (Please make a request at least 7 days in advance) .

The return trip (Day 2 or 3) starts with pick up at Yosemite Lodge at 3:30. A brief stop is made at about 6:00. Coming over the Altamont Pass we drive through Livermore Valley arriving San Francisco after 9:00. You are dropped off at various hotels in the city. If you are going to San Francisco International Airport it is best to reserve a sedan transfer in advance or take a shuttle or taxi from the first stop. There can be traffic delays or late departure - please do not expect to catch a flight at night.

Package tours staying at Yosemite Lodge or The Ahwahnee Hotel are available all year.
Curry Village rooms can be booked from May to October.
May 1 to October 31 round trip transportation is provided daily by motor coach. November to April you can take the tour almost any day using a combination of motor coach and AMTRAK train.
