From the Field: California Tours

At Austin-Lehman Adventures, our guests are our best ambassadors. Here’s an excerpt from one traveler’s journal about his Yosemite family vacation:

"This was our first father/daughter vacation and it was perfect. Erin truly was sad on the last day to have it end."

~ Harvey Lung, Honolulu, Hawaii – 2006 Yosemite Adventure

California – Yosemite Family - Domes, Rivers & Waterfalls

Yosemite Family - Domes, Rivers & Waterfalls

Your daughter gazes skyward in amazement at the "Grizzly Giant," Yosemite National Park's ~2,000-year-old Sequoia tree. It's not until you've been in her shoes – standing at the foot of a colossal 90-foot wide and 200-foot tall trunk – that you've truly experienced the enormity of Yosemite's Giant Sequoias.

Welcome to your Yosemite National Park Family Adventure. Hike forest trails, atop granite domes and through the mist of thundering waterfalls. Learn the basics of rock climbing with the help of our professional instructors. High five after tackling the rapids of the class II and III Merced River Canyon. Discover how Yosemite Valley was formed and how many kids it takes, hand in hand, to circle the Telescope Tree. And return at the end of every fun-filled day to the indoor pool and spa at the Apple Tree Inn.

With 1,600 miles of streams feeding numerous lakes and ponds and over 800 miles of established hiking trails, Yosemite National Park is the ultimate family escape.

Yosemite Family - Domes, Rivers & Waterfalls

A few more reasons why you've gotta go…

  1. The Yosemite Firefall: learn the history of an 88-year-old tradition deemed so dangerous that it was discontinued in 1968.
  2. Taft Point: jutting 1,500 feet over the valley, you can't beat the view from the Point.
  3. The trees! It took 15 Austin-Lehman guests, hand in hand, to barely encircle one Giant Sequoia.
  4. The rock climbing: after a 60-foot rappel down the base of El Capitan, you and your kids both will have a new perspective on what you can accomplish.
