Best of California's National Parks

Visit three of California’s iconic national parks on a seven-day adventure that’ll leave you with memories of sweeping mountainscapes and star-strewn skies. Come face-to-face with Yosemite’s diverse landscapes, exploring sprawling meadows, waterfalls, thick forest and granite peaks like the Half Dome and El Capitan – all with a local leader to take you beyond the typical photo stops. Gaze up at the mighty General Sherman and General Grant trees in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks – photos can’t capture the awe-inspiring feeling of standing beneath these ancient giants. Connect with the landscape more deeply when you join an expert from the Yosemite Conservancy after dark for a stargazing experience.
