This memorable family vacation begins with a taste of the Wild West in California’s Gold Country before forging into Yosemite itself, a breathtaking sanctuary of dense forests, sprawling meadows, thundering waterfalls and dramatic granite peaks. Immortalized by famed photographer Ansel Adams and cherished by legendary conservationist John Muir, Yosemite is one of our nation’s most stunning national parks and celebrated natural wonders, intimate in feel yet grand in scale. Overnight stays in a mountain resort and a historic lodge are the perfect complement to this inspiring journey.
