Annie was our guide, and she did an excellent job! The trip was very well organized, and Annie was very friendly, helpful & informative. I would highly recommend this trip and we enjoyed the camping option. You get a lot of "spare time" in Yosemite Valley and Annie helped us with which hikes, activities etc to do. This trip is one of our favorite ones we have done with a tour company!

Best time to visit Pacific Coast USA
- Summer 2026
Summer tours make the most of those long daylight hours in Yosemite Valley. The guides know exactly when to visit popular spots like Bridalveil Fall and El Capitan, getting you there early before the crowds and heat build up. Many people camp under the stars, though you can stay in lodges if you prefer more comfort. The Tuolumne Grove walks work well since the giant sequoias keep things cool, and our travelers appreciate having free time for ranger programs or relaxing by the Merced River. Some tours combine Yosemite with Sequoia National Park where the higher elevation helps beat the heat while you explore Congress Trail and climb Moro Rock for sunset.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Fall brings rich colors to Yosemite Valley and the hiking conditions turn just right. With fewer people around, you can really take your time getting photos of Half Dome reflecting in the streams and meadows. Our travelers particularly enjoy the combined Yosemite and Sequoia National Park tours when fall colors peak - the giant sequoia groves feel more peaceful with smaller crowds. You'll still get great views on the Mist Trail without the summer crowds, and guides know the perfect spots to watch climbers on El Capitan through spotting scopes. Some tours end with time in San Francisco when Karl the Fog starts clearing more often, making for nice Golden Gate Bridge photos.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
Winter brings out some really special moments in California's parks. The Tournament of Roses tour lets you peek behind the scenes of Pasadena's New Year's parade - you'll see those incredible floats up close, each one made completely from flowers and natural materials. Our customers particularly like getting those reserved grandstand seats right at the start of the parade route. Death Valley National Park works perfectly in winter too, when you can actually enjoy hiking without the heat. The afternoon sun hits the Badlands at Zabriskie Point just right, and you can explore the salt flats comfortably. Some tours head up to Wildrose Peak at 9,000 feet where the clear winter air opens up great views across Death Valley and out to the snow-covered Sierra Nevada range.
- Spring 2027
Our travelers consistently rate spring as their favorite time for Yosemite. The waterfalls run full force, especially on the Mist Trail where hiking up to Vernal and Nevada Falls will definitely get you wet. TourRadar customers tell us they love having extra time at Mirror Lake when Half Dome's reflection shows up perfectly clear in the water. Several tours link Death Valley and Yosemite together in spring, giving you perfect hiking weather in two completely different landscapes. The guides time everything just right - catching sunset at Olmsted Point when Tioga Pass opens in late May, then sunrise at Mono Lake. Spring tours also let you float down the Merced River or bike through Yosemite Valley while wildflowers cover the meadows.
