During this event you will:
- Tour America's 2nd and 3rd National Parks
- Spend a day exploring among the largest trees on Earth
- Experience unmatched views of the Sierra-Nevada Mountain Range
- Stand below (and above) the highest waterfall in North America
- Humbly revere El Capitan
This is a short trip with a ginormous payout. You'll see all the premium points of interest in both Sequoia and Yosemite National Parks. We'll spend a full day touring Sequoia N.P., home to the largest trees (by volume) in the world, then have nearly three days to hike, bike, and gape at the towering landscape and sky-high waterfalls of Yosemite National Park. Mid-May is the optimum time to see the falls, and this year we can expect decent flow and good falls energy.
We'll spend our first two nights in Visalia and the following three nights right in Yosemite Valley, with optional extension of 2 nights in Sonoma.

As you can see by the photo, I've done this trip before, although in less time, so our four-day itinerary will be enough to see all the good stuff. But be aware that our day at Sequoia will be very active and we'll likely be at the park until sunset.
I'll have a detailed itinerary you can follow for an optimum overall first-time experience, or you can create your own.
