Giant granite domes formed under volcanic pressure were cut in half creating the famous sheer-walled faces of Half Dome and El Capitan. Yosemite Valley’s cliffs are 3500 feet tall, and countless waterfalls cascade off the cliffs into the canyon. Yosemite also is home to the amazing Giant Sequoia trees, remnants of the last ice age. Come with us to hike the iconic trails, and experience the remarkable wonders of this stunning national park. Camping brings us back to nature, the silence, digital detox, a roaring campfire, and the dark night skies. Your guide will tailor your trip to your needs and desires.

The sleepy town of Groveland, CA located just outside Yosemite National Park was once (twice and even three times) a bustling metropolis of up to 20,000 people! Join us on a fun and historic guided walking tour that explores the town's booms and busts as well as the pioneers that shaped its legacy. We'll meet at the Echo Adventure's Yosemite Basecamp and enjoy presentation and light snack before getting started! During our half-mile walk through town, we'll duck into other local shops, hotels, and restaurants along the way to see how they have transformed Groveland's wild west era mercantiles, brothels, and saloons. We'll end our journey at the 170-year-old Groveland Hotel with a quick nip at their Bourbon Bar & Taproom before we explore their historic wine cellar! You may even get to meet Lyle, gold miner and hotel guest since 1925 - umm, yeah, he's a ghost! We'll say goodbye with plenty of time that evening to enjoy shopping, dining or live music in downtown Groveland!
