The Last Adventure: The Sierras
Embark on the Sierra Adventure with Outdoor Adventures! This 6-day journey weaves through the awe-inspiring landscapes of Yosemite National Park and the adrenaline-pumping waters of the Middle Fork of the American River. Spend the first three nights camping amidst the iconic landmarks of Yosemite, immersing yourself in day hikes that unveil the park's natural wonders, including Yosemite Falls, Bridel Veil Falls, and Yosemite Village. As the journey unfolds, transition from Yosemite's granite cliffs to the rushing rapids of the Kern River in Sequioa National Forest, driving towards the launch site for an unforgettable day of rafting on Class 3-4 rapids. Guided by experienced professionals, navigate the exhilarating white water, feeling the rush of adrenaline amidst the breathtaking Sierra wilderness. The adventure culminates with a return journey to San Diego, where memories of Yosemite's grandeur, serene hikes, and the thrill of river rafting converge to create an extraordinary experience of nature, adventure, and camaraderie. Join us for this grand Sierra, a perfect blend of camping, scenic hikes, and white-water excitement in the heart of the Sierra Nevada.
