Step by Step
You'll begin your adventure at Echo Adventures Yosemite Basecamp, where you'll meet your guide and receive all the information you need. If you prefer, you can request a pick-up from Firefall Ranch, Rush Creek Lodge, Tuolumne Grove or Bridalveil Fall Trailhead, depending on your accommodations.
After a few minutes of introduction, you will enter Yosemite Valley, one of the most spectacular glacial valleys in the world. The first stop is the famous Tunnel View, where you will get one of the most unforgettable panoramic views of El Capitan, Half Dome and Bridalveil Fall.
You will continue on to several waterfalls: you will enjoy the majesty of Yosemite Falls and stop at smaller waterfalls (The Cascades) that reveal the power of the water at each level. During breaks, your guide will share facts about the geology, flora and fauna of the park.
One of the most exciting experiences is to approach the Bridalveil Fall Trailhead to feel the mist above you, and then head into Tuolumne Grove (if you choose that stop) to hike through towering thousand-year-old redwoods.
