Yosemite National Park

The “incomparable valley” was designated a National Park in 1890. Then, 94 years later, in 1984, Yosemite National Park became a World Heritage Site.

Yosemite National Park was one of the first wilderness parks in the US with a full 93% of the park designated as wilderness area. The park includes nearly 1200 square miles of untouched wilderness with glacier carved rock formations, grand sweeping meadows and panoramic Yosemite Valley views.

  • People come from around the world to see the breathtaking waterfalls, sub-alpine meadows, and the unusual cliffs and rock formations of Yosemite Valley
  • Your accommodations while in Yosemite National Park will be at Yosemite Valley Lodge
  • Mariposa Grove, near Yosemite Park’s South Entrance contains the largest stand of giant sequoias in Yosemite National Park (also known as Sierra redwoods or big trees)
  • Glacier Point is a favorite overlook, with an impressive view of Half Dome, Yosemite Valley and the High Sierra
  • The sub-alpine meadow of Tuolumne is a must see attraction, nestled at the foot of an unbelievable mountain range with high majestic peaks and impressive domes
  • Hetch Hetchy is a reservoir and lesser known twin to Yosemite Valley

At 2,425 feet tall, the falling water of Yosemite Falls is the longest drop in the United States and the fifth tallest in the world.

Caravan's Proud History

In 1965, Roger Mudd hosted a two-hour CBS TV special on Caravan Tours. This TV production took about one month to make and was so successful it inspired the 1968 romantic comedy movie “If it’s Tuesday this must be Belgium.” In the early 50’s the Mayor of Dublin presented Caravan with the Key to Dublin for bringing the first American tour to the city after WWII. Since then, Caravan has been recognized as a pioneer in travel. You can trust in our stability, experience and dedication to quality.
