What are the hotel accommodations like?
Hotels are in popular, well-rated resorts in Lake Tahoe and Yosemite. While we typically book three-star hotels to keep costs reasonable, upgrades to four-star or riverside rooms are often available at no extra charge, depending on availability.

Pickup is available from over 140 hotels in the San Francisco Bay Area, including San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, and nearby cities. Exact pickup times are confirmed after booking, and you can also meet at the start point if preferred.
What should I know about booking during peak seasons?
Hotels in Yosemite sell out up to a year in advance, especially during summer and ski seasons. We recommend booking early to secure the best accommodations and avoid crowded weekends and holidays, which can increase costs and reduce your experience quality.
