Yosemite Camp and Explore - SBC

8:00pm - 10:00pm
Yosemite National Park
Yosemite National Park is one of the first wilderness parks and the most popular in the United States. Yosemite is best known for its waterfalls, but within its 1,200 square miles of wildlands you will find deep valleys, grand meadows, ancient giant sequoias, and much more. While there, we will be camping in the valley and taking side trips to view the thousand foot granite walls, some of which include the famous El Capitan, exploring the valley and taking in the scenery.

Itinerary
Day 1: We will meet at the Rec Center on Friday at 8:00am to pack the van up, making sure we have the necessary gear for a successful trip. Our drive is roughly 330 miles / 531 km (6-7 hours) with stops for lunch and gas. We will spend the rest of night setting up a campfire at the camp and getting ready for some sleep.
Day 2: Saturday will begin early for a quick breakfast, for it will be a lengthy day. Our adventure will start on the Mist Trail where we will hike towards Vernal Falls (~1 mile) and continue to Nevada Falls (~1.5 miles), which adds to about 7 miles round trip. The elevation gain is roughly 3000 feet, which means the trail is steep. Be prepared for some hiking. After our day hike, we will return to the campsite and catch a shuttle to Yosemite Falls. Upon returning at the valley, we will check the visitor center, Ansel Adams gallery, and the gift shops out before having dinner at the Yosemite Lodge. From there, we will head back for some smores and rest.
Day 3: Sunday will begin with breakfast at 8am. We will pack up, check out of the camp by 9am, and visit the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias. After having lunch, we will make our way back to the van and be on the road by 2pm so we can make it back at the campus by 10PM. We will stop for gas and dinner (not provided) somewhere around Bakersfield.
