Explore yosity National Park now folks as a tour director here at American classic I’ve had the privilege of visiting many of America’s national parks I’ve been to Yellowstone Glacier the Grand Canyon arches Acadia and while each Park is beautiful in its own way my opinion is that Yos is the greatest of

All our great national parks to me it is the most beautiful National Park in America but you don’t have to take my word for it the legendary Mountain Man and environmental floser John mure who is known as the father of the national park said that yosd was by far the

Grandest of all the special temples of nature I was ever permitted to enter wow that’s some High Praise this tour will take place entirely in the state of California now I know when many people think of California they think of it as being the most populous state full of

Big modern cities but California is a huge state with a lot of space and plenty of rural areas too in fact the Sierra Nevada mount range in eastern California is one of the most remote sparsely populated areas in the entire country so in a sense this tour is a

Real escape from civilization it is a chance to connect with the unspoiled beauty of nature okay if we take a look at our map you’ll get a sense of where we’ll be journeying on this tour our tour will begin in Sacramento before we journey to Yos and then onward to Kings

Canyon and SEO national parks we’ll drive through California’s Central Valley to San Francisco where we’ll end our tour we’ll start in California’s capital city Sacramento sits at the Confluence of the Sacramento and American Rivers as you explore the city notice its Lush vegetation large leafy shade trees cover most of the city Bogan

Via palm and fruit trees populate the city’s numerous Parks we’ll take a guided tour of California state capital built in the neoclassical style between 1860 and 1874 the California state capital sits in the heart of downtown Sacramento located on the grounds of the Capital Park is the world peace rose

Stand right here and take a photo of this iconic scene at the tunnel view Overlook now yed sits in a valley deep within the Sierra Nevada mount range over the winter months the peaks of the mountains accumulate heavy amounts of snow so during the spring and summer

Months this snow melts and flows from the mountain tops down into the valley of Yos creating some of America’s most dazzling waterfalls like the bridal veil Falls or the breathtaking Yos Falls now I’ll never forget the first time I toured yosd it seemed like around every

Bend in any direction I would turn I would encounter another beautiful little scene like this or like what you’re seeing right here more than any other place in America yosity seemed to me to be a photographer’s dream with countless picture perfect views we’ll make our way to Sequoia and King’s Canyon National

Park these two parks actually share a border and function almost as one big National Park they are incredibly remote there are very few places to stay in the Parks or even near the parks so when I’ve let our groups to these Parks it’s felt like we’ve had them all to

Ourselves Sequoia National Park is a land of giants the Towering sequoia trees the largest living things on earth stand like Sentinels over the landscape they can grow to be over 300 ft tall and have diameters of over 30 ft they grow best in moist well- drained soils at

Second largest tree in the world the General Grant tree walking amongst the giant seoa is truly one of the most memorable things one can experience while traveling through America it’s almost like a religious or transcendental experience you feel so small walking through these trees and in

Awe of the vastness and the power of nature if you haven’t experienced this yet for yourself you should definitely join us on this tour SEO is also home to gorgeous Mountain scenery and it’s home to the tallest mountain peak in the continental United States Mount Whitney which stands at over

14,500 ft in elevation we’ll visit King’s Canyon National Park the Park’s namesake King Canyon is a rugged Glacier carved Valley more than a mile deep this Canyon has created some stunning scenery you’ll enjoy beautiful Scenic overlooks as you tour the park from its large trees like the Sequoia the Ponderosa
