Regarded by many as the jewel of our national parks, a visit to Yosemite is a day-long adventure you won't forget. The rolling hills and meandering streams of prehistoric Yosemite were dramatically transformed into the colossal landscape of today by mighty glaciers during the ice age. Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States, set aside Yosemite as the nation's first state park during the summer of 1864; it became a national park in 1890. Located on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada, the park is in a region of central California recognized for its unusual beauty. An early departure from San Francisco on board a luxury motor coach takes you directly through the great Central Valley of California. Following the Merced River, you'll climb the majestic Sierra Nevada Mountain Range as you enter the National Park.

Duration: 14 Hours
