Adventure, Elegance, and Unforgettable Views

For lunch, indulge in vibrant flavors at Curry Village's Taqueria, offering tacos, burritos, and vegetarian delights, or head to Degnan's Kitchen for fresh sandwiches. Afterward, cool off with a rafting experience on the Merced River. Rent a raft and as you float along the serene 3-mile stretch, soak in the panoramic views of Yosemite's iconic cliffs and towering trees.

As the day winds down, gather at The Pizza Deck in Curry Village for hand-tossed pizza served al fresco with unbeatable views of Glacier Point, Half Dome, and the Royal Arches. Pair your meal with a refreshing cocktail or a chilled beer from the Curry Village Bar for a perfect end to your action-packed day.

Next, venture to Tuolumne Meadows, Yosemite's stunning high country. Along the drive, pause at Tenaya Lake and Olmsted Point for breathtaking photo opportunities. Choose your trail—whether it's the easy Soda Springs walk or the moderate hike to Elizabeth Lake, where granite peaks reflect off crystal-clear waters, this adventure is sure to be unforgettable.

After your hike, refuel at Tuolumne Meadow Grill, where classic American favorites like burgers and vegetarian chili await. Return to the valley in the afternoon for a Naturalist Walk. Guided by a Yosemite expert, explore the intricate balance of preservation and recreation while learning about the park's rich ecology and history.

Cap off your Yosemite journey with dinner at Basecamp Eatery, offering a diverse menu that satisfies every craving. Treat yourself to a final indulgence at The Mountain Room with dessert paired with an Irish coffee. Cheers to the memories you've created in Yosemite's summer splendor!
