Yosemite Family Adventure Coordinators have designed our five and seven day packages to make sure that all of Yosemite's landmarks, world renown vistas and majestic locations are incorporated. Once you decide on how many days to spend in Yosemite, head over to our "Package Details" section to learn more about our three "Customizing Options".
The Five Day Classic Package will give you plenty of time to see many of Yosemite's postcard landmarks and it will also allow time for you to enjoy small or large hikes into the back country of Yosemite, away from all the commotion of the valley.

The Seven Day Classic Package was meticulously assembled for the visitors that want to spend a little more time being consumed by Yosemite's magical landscape. This package opens up just the right amount of time to reach those remote; yet fairly easy to summit, back country mountain peaks; that offer up a complete view of Yosemite's one-of-a-kind beauty.

If five or seven days is to long for your group, please contact our adventure coordinators to inquire about a 'Custom Package Quote" and we will create an Inclusive Package designed to meet your personal wants and needs.
