    Even the most experienced rock climbers find difficulty on the treacherous slopes of El Capitan, the world's largest granite monolith. The summit can be reached by a hiking trail out of Yosemite Valley.

    Half Dome

    Half Dome
    Once considered insurmountable, Yosemite's Half Dome is a granite formation, one of the park's most recognizable attractions. A steep trail now leads to the summit, but the journey is arduous, so those wishing to reach it should come prepared.

    The Merced River cuts through Yosemite National Park on its route from Nevada to Central California. Visitors to the park can enjoy hiking along the river banks or rafting down its rapids.

  • The trip was well organized. Both our guides DJ, Mathew, and the driver were very friendly. Our guide gave us interesting information from time to time about California, and the places that we visited which made the trip worth while. It would have been very nice if we could have spent more time in Yosemite. My overall experience was very satisfying and worth the money.
