    Allan

    Asked on June 7th, 2023

    I have one last question: Without a US driving license and without a car, how do you recommend I can reach the place where we meet to start in Yosemite Park? What recommendation for transit from SFA/Palo Alto to Yosemite?

    • Wildland TrekkingOperator•Written June 2023

      I recommend googling 'Rome2Rio' and clicking on their website and then enter Palo Alto, CA as your starting point and then enter Curry Village, CA as your end point to see travel options. The capacity for this tour is 10 hikers and there are only 4 openings left.

      Traveler•Written June 2023

      If any possible, I would like to confirm my reservation for the Yosemite High Country Basecamp Tour, Aug 1 to Aug 4, 2023, for 1 traveller.

    • Wildland TrekkingOperator•Written June 2023

      We can't "hold" a spot for you until you're ready to book. At this time there are still a handful of spaces available, so you will probably be fine waiting until Tuesday or Wednesday to book.
