We want to make sure you're on the trip that's right for you. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.
Yosemite is a big place—that’s part of what makes it so extraordinary! To bring you to its most breathtaking sights involves a bit more shuttle time than what you may find on some other Backroads trips. But we guarantee it’s time well spent, as these shuttles are your ticket to the hidden gems and world-famous vistas that make Yosemite unforgettable.
Because of national park regulations, leaders are not allowed to offer full support for the ride in Yosemite Valley, but you’ll be supplied with maps, directions and locks for the ride, which is almost entirely on flat bike paths. Backroads leaders will provide full support on our bike rides just outside the park on Days 1 and 4.
