“It was an amazing get away! Jill swept us off our feet- she kept us on task and shared some amazing spots, sights and sounds. She was dedicated to ensuring we all enjoyed our time and her passion for nature was inspiring. The scenic drive was breathtaking and each stop along the way was more amazing than the last. We were so excited when we saw a bear and spotted a climber on El Cap. Being guided through such enormous and busy tourist locations was a treat and I highly recommend this tour and this tour company.”

]]> Amazing Adventure in the Tahoe Snow

“We just spent the most enjoyable 3 days at Tahoe! Everything was exactly as we wanted. The van was very comfortable and the bonus… it ran on bio-fuel! The trip out was very scenic and every effort was made to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The hotel was warm and cozy. The other passengers were fun and great company. The best part was our guide Rourke, he was the perfect guide and host. He was very easy going and accommodated our every whim. We opted for sight seeing around the Lake as none of us were skiers and we just wanted to take great pictures of the beautiful area. Rourke made suggestions and in consultation we agreed on the days schedule. OMG! What amazing sights! We went hiking to the best view points, we went sledding, we learnt a lot about the area and the history. Not only was Rourke the best guide he was also great company. We loved everything about this tour and would highly recommend Incredible Adventures.”

“We took the 4 day trip to Yosemite and the Sierras last Sept and we were very happy that we signed with Incredible Adventures. Our guide was very knowledgeable and very flexible, he knew just what to do when we hit an unpredictable snowy weather along Mammoth Lakes. The added bonus of going to Glacier Point was just beautiful. Overall it was a great trip. And the way he ended the tour just watching the San Francisco skyline at night was magical. I would highly recommend this tour especially with Robert as the guide.”

[/tab][tab title=”Itinerary”]

Sample Itinerary – Day 1

San Francisco to Yosemite National Park

8:00am: Pick up from San Francisco Hilton Hotel (Mason Street entrance)
8:00am – 12:00pm: Buckle up! After departing San Francisco, you’ll head through California’s famous Gold Rush Country, high into the mountains of the Sierra Nevada.
12:00pm – 8:00pm:  It’s time to experience the majestic views from Yosemite Valley with some of America’s tallest waterfalls and towering granite cliffs rising 4,000 feet from the valley floor. You’ll have the opportunity to explore on foot, by bike, or by free valley shuttle. Hiking trails abound, and this afternoon your guide will help you find the perfect trail to take in this glacially carved valley. Afterwards, relax on the bank of the Merced River and soak up the spectacular views.
8:00pm: Head back to the rustic mountain resort to kick back, have some drinks and share the stories of your day. Hostel Included.

 

Sample Itinerary – Day 2

Yosemite National Park to Mammoth Lakes via Tioga Pass

8:00am-12:00pm: This morning, we’re off to explore more of what Yosemite has to offer. Your guide will set you up with an amazing morning hike or a chance to capture a few more iconic photos followed by lunch among the fabled Giant Sequoias.
12:00pm – 4:00pm: This afternoon, you’ll ascend to almost 10,000 Feet (3000+ meters), traversing Yosemite’s Tioga Pass viewing iconic sites like the reflective Tenaya Lake and weaving your way through Tuolumne Meadows before descending the fiercely steep eastern slope of the Sierra Nevadas.
4:00pm: Next up, an overnight stay in beautiful Mammoth Lakes, California. With a hint at its prehistoric past, the name is quite fitting… the size of the mountains, the number of lakes, and the expanse of the valleys. Try your hand at mountain biking or take a scenic Gondola ride up to 11,053 ft (3368 meters) and check out one of the most stunning 360 degree views in California. Explore the geologic, natural, and human history of Mammoth and find out why this is one of the most studied regions in the world.

 

Sample Itinerary – Day 3

Mammoth Lakes to Lake Tahoe via Ansel Adams Wilderness Area and Bodie, CA

8:00am-12:00pm: We’ll start our day with the option to visit the Ansel Adams Wilderness area. This rugged place was named in honor of the famed nature photographer where you’ll have the opportunity to visit the Devil’s Postpile National Monument that is a rare sight in the geologic world, and with a name like that, you won’t be disappointed. You’ll be amazed by this strange columnar basalt formation and may also choose to take a short hike over to Rainbow Falls to snap a selfie.
12:00pm – 6:00pm: Next, you’re back on the road, this time headed to Lake Tahoe. Along the way, we’ll get off the pavement to experience a bit of Gold Rush history at the remote National Historic Landmark known as Bodie Ghost Town.
6:00pm: End your adventure-filled day by trying your luck at blackjack, or the roulette wheel at The Hard Rock, Harrah’s or one of South Lake Tahoe’s other casinos. Gambling not you’re thing? We’ll set you up with a sunset sail or a lake cruise to Emerald Bay.

 

Sample Itinerary – Day 4

Lake Tahoe to San Francisco

8:00am-2:00pm: This morning, you’ll get to choose your own adventure. Get up close and personal with the highest alpine lake in the USA either by kayak, stand-up paddleboard or bike. If you would prefer more of a bird’s eye view with panoramic vistas of Lake Tahoe, Carson Valley and the Desolation Wilderness, take a 2.4 mile gondola ride up, up, up to Heavenly Mountain resort where an array of adventure activities await you. Having trouble deciding? You always have the option to keep it simple and go on a short hike with the guidance of your professional guide.
2:00pm – 7:00pm: This afternoon, you’ll leave Lake Tahoe behind and, after passing through the state’s capital city, Sacramento, you’ll follow the historic Pony Express Trail through El Dorado National Forest.
7:00pm – 8:00pm: You’ll arrive back to the City by the Bay, San Francisco.

**Sample Itineraries: Please note that due to rapidly-changing conditions beyond our control (weather, crowds, traffic) and the small size of our vehicles/groups, we allow our guides the flexibility to tailor your itinerary to best suit the needs of the group. While we guarantee that we’ll do our best to provide you with all of the highlights within this Yosemite and Tahoe Sierras Tour itinerary (conditions permitting), we do not guarantee them in this specific order. **
