Soak in the Summer Splendor of Yosemite

In the afternoon, cool off with a rafting trip on the Merced River. Rent a raft from Curry Village and float down three miles of serene waters with awe-inspiring views. As the sun sets, enjoy a mouthwatering hand-tossed pizza at The Pizza Deck in Curry Village. Pair it with a strawberry margarita or a creative cocktail as you take in stunning views of Half Dome and Glacier Point.

Recharge at Tuolumne Meadow Grill with a classic burger or vegetarian chili. In the evening, return to the valley for a Yosemite Naturalist Walk. Discover fascinating topics, from John Muir's inspiration to the intricate dance of preservation. End the day at Basecamp Eatery with diverse dining options and savor a slice of New York-style cheesecake with an Irish coffee at the Mountain Room as a perfect nightcap.

Before leaving the south side of the park, explore the Pioneer History Center, where horse-drawn wagons, a covered bridge, and historic buildings transport you to Yosemite's past.

Conclude your journey with a magical sunset at Glacier Point. Drive up to this iconic spot and bask in panoramic views of Yosemite Valley, Half Dome, and El Capitan as the golden hour paints the landscape. Grab a hot chocolate at the Glacier Point Gift Shop, then return to Basecamp Eatery for a final dinner and toast your unforgettable Yosemite adventure.
