El Capitan

An awesome 3500ft granite rock face, where you can watch rock climbers as they take on the ultimate 4-7 day climbing challenge.

The tour journeys through this area where the discovery of gold by James Marshall started the California gold rush. On the way to Yosemite you’ll pass one of the country’s original gold towns.
