Day By Day
Your Days, Unhurried
Day 1 — Welcome to the Valley
Arrive, settle into the lodge, and join a golden-hour walk to a quiet bend of the Merced River.
Day 2 — Waterfalls & Granite
Lower Yosemite Fall, Cook’s Meadow and Tunnel View — the icons, timed to dodge the crowds.
Day 3 — High Country
Drive up to the high meadows for thinner air, bigger views and a picnic among ancient pines.
Day 4 — Half Dome & Stars
A lazy morning, an afternoon picnic in Half Dome’s shadow, and telescopes after dark for the Milky Way.
Day 5 — Farewell Brunch
Brunch at the lodge, one last valley loop, and goodbyes around midday.
Good To Know
Questions, Answered
Are the walks difficult?
No — valley walks are mostly flat and under 3 miles. The high-country day has one optional climb you can skip for a meadow rest instead.
What about bears and wildlife?
Your guide covers food storage and trail etiquette on day one. Sightings are common and always kept at a respectful distance.
Can children join?
Yes — curious kids aged 8 and up love the stargazing night. Private family departures are available on request.
