No Experience Required

The van eases out of San Francisco while the Bay Bridge shrinks behind you and Alcatraz holds its island court. By mid-afternoon the city gives way to Gold Country oak and the Sierra foothills, and the air thins into the clean, cold scent of pine. On day one the group drops into Tuolumne Grove, a short but satisfying walk through giant sequoias—trees that feel older than time and large enough to make your problems small.
