Travel by passenger van or motor coach, just 200 miles east of San Francisco, and enjoy a wide array of photo opportunities along the scenic drive to Yosemite.
Sights include:
- Bay Bridge -- The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, known locally as the Bay Bridge, is a toll bridge that spans San Francisco Bay and links Oakland and San Francisco as part of Interstate 80.
- East Bay -- A sub-region of the Bay Area, the eastern shores of the San Francisco Bay and San Pablo Bay were once known as "Contra Costa," meaning literally "opposite coast."
- The Sierra Nevada foothills --The foothills of the Sierra Nevada are where James Marshall discovered gold in 1848 and gave rise to the California Gold Rush. The tour passes through one of the original towns that came out of the Gold Rush.

- Yosemite Falls -- At 2450 feet, this is the highest waterfall in North America & third highest in the world.
