Overview
Highlights
- The iconic symbol of Yosemite grandeur, we’ll take you to the exact point where Ansel shot one of his most famous images in 1960, before ascending way above the treeline for our fave view from Glacier Point.
- Discover myriad multi-coloured vistas at the lowest point in the USA; a blistered, surging landscape, like the mountains of the moon, and quite certainly one of the most unusual places you’ll ever have the pleasure to visit.
- Massive, ancient giant sequoias live in three groves in Yosemite National Park - estimated to be around 4,600 years old and spanning upwards of 200 feet in the air.
- Ansel Easton Adams was an American photographer and environmentalist. His black-and-white landscape photographs of the American West, especially Yosemite National Park, made him the most famous ever landscape photographer.
